The Girl on the Bridge (La Fille sur le pont 1999)...hmmm this didn't really float my boat at all. What get's me is that a film like Angel A is panned for being empty and shallow and yet TGOTB basically does the exactly the same thing (an unlikely pairing, with a potential romance, within a Parisian backdrop) and gets praised to the hilt. OK, to be fair the photography was fantastic, but at no stage were any emotions evident. Maybe that's the whole point and I'm missing the whole arc of the film. However the film didn't make much of an impact on me and, if I'm honest, I'm glad I spent only a few quid on it.
Currently watching: Fox and his friends, er yes, Rainer Werner Fassbinder stars in his own film about a gay bloke who wins the lottery...cue full frontal nudity and every Gay cliche imaginable. I guess it might have meant something in the '70's but currently this isn't keeping my attention glued to the screen.
Final score: an average 6/10
