The film portrays the harsh existence of the homeless as Alex, Michele and Hans, an older vagrant survive on the streets with their wits. As they both slowly get their lives back together, Michele becomes increasingly dependent on Alex as her vision deteriorates further. Fearing that Michele will leave him if she receives a new medical treatment Alex attempts to keep Michele practically a prisoner. The streets, skies and waterways of Paris are used as a backdrop to the story in a series of stunning visuals which dominate the film.

    Features what was the most expensive set in French film history...you'll never look at derelict bridge (or person) in the same way again...some interesting and original scenes...Juliette Binoche even looks good whilst 'slumming it'...

    I saw it about 4 years ago and there're many things i can remember from it. Juliette Binoche and Denis Lavant is great.. but the movie is too desperate. there's no hope or something real good for them in the story!! I think many things in this movie is somehow interestin' but i swear to god i'll not watch it again. Even I want to have some sadness for pressin' myself sometimes. But not from this movie.
    I picked it from the shelf by 2 reasons.. 1st there's Juliette Binoche and 2nd Martin Scorsese was the producer!!

    Anyway it's not that bad.. Juliette Binoche is great. and you may found something different in it. cause no movie could be so desperate and gloomy atmosphere as it did. though i was somehow impressed how can it be created! and It's apparently not be created in the commercial way that's the other impression.

    PS. I was despair and out of my mind with sadness for few days because of this movie.

    Les amants du Pont-Neuf is one of the most suggestive movies i´ve ever seen. The colours and photo angles is so breathtaking and extraordinary. Sections of documentary filming and absurd scenery intertwine in a very sophisticated way. Juliette Binoche is convincing as usual. Sad, chocking and beautiful.

    very good, I speak french so I enjoyed this film very much despite the american subtitles which were ever so slightly off the mark at times. This film is full of typically French camera work - beautiful to watch
