Girl on the Bridge

The gleefully assured tale of a professional knife-thrower who finds a quirky new target... hits the bull's-eye.

Gorgeously silly.

What's best about the movie is its playfulness.

Leconte turns up the erotic heat in the most gorgeously photographed black-and-white film since Wim Wenders' sublime "Wings of Desire."

(Paradis) delivers what might be the most affecting film performance ever given by a supermodel.

As the sexual tension builds -- and it becomes intense, culminating in a highly suggestive knife-throwing scene more erotic than if the actors had been having explicit physical contact -- Girl takes you on a thrilling ride.

This elegant vision of sexual roles is certain to make a lasting impression and is likely to provoke explosive dialogues in Denny's and sidewalk cafés from here to Monaco.
