The Lovers on the Bridge (1991) is another of those movies I’ve had on my shelves for years. I fell in love with Juliette Binoche after seeing her in The English Patient and Chocolat. This French film mostly takes place on the oldest bridge in Paris, the Pont-Neuf. Juliette Binoche plays a homeless artist who is going blind. She meets up with a homeless street performer (he spits fire) called Alex (Denis Lavant). Both characters are damaged and their relationship has plenty of ups and downs (mostly downs). I heard a lot of about The Lovers on the Bridge and after watching it I can see what all the excitement at Cannes was about. But, I never need to see it again. GRADE: B
