---|---|---|---|---|
"Auteuil and Paradis are an engaging pair and the knife-throwing scenes have a bizarre erotic power" | ||||
"There is nothing like being partners in a knife-throwing act to encourage a man and a woman to focus on their relationship (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | ||||
"This may not be the most logical film you'll see this year, but it will certainly be among the most beautiful (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" | ||||
"The story is 'La Strada' without the poverty and fatalism (...) 'Girl on the Bridge' is most entertaining when it takes itself least seriously" | ||||
"Leconte turns up the erotic heat in the most gorgeously photographed black-and-white film since Wim Wenders' sublime 'Wings of Desire'" | ||||
"A sexy, edgy romance that director Patrice Leconte filmed in stunning black and white" |
