The Girl on the Bridge
A mysterious knife-thrower (Daniel Auteuil) saves a young woman (Vanessa Paradis) from jumping off a bridge, and recruits her for his death defying act. Their success together is based not just on skill, but on their almost telepathic (and sensual) sense of oneness. This stylish, provocative fable weaves a wonderful blend of wit and imagination.
