The Girl on the Bridge (La fille sur le pont)

Can two unhappy people be happy together?

The Girl on the Bridge is one of my favorites. It captures quirky and heartfelt in a compelling cinematic swirl of emotions. 

A despondent girl named Adele (Vanessa Paradis) is about to take a swan dive off a bridge into the Seine River when she's rescued by Gabor (Daniel Auteuil), a knife thrower who needs a human target for his show. The luckless Adele agrees, and together the pair thrives.

Paradis and Auteil offer magnetic performances wrapped in beautiful cinematography making every scene count.

Available on Netflix.
