Les Amants du Pont-Neuf

Carax and Binoche's second and last collaboration, famous for its lengthy and troubled production history and its spectacular sets recreating the historic Parisian Pont-Neuf.

Carax and Binoche's second (and last) collaboration is famous for its lengthy and troubled production history and its spectacular sets recreating the historic Parisian Pont-Neuf. This love story between two vagrants functions as a perverse tribute to the star's iconic face. Binoche may be unwashed and wearing an eye patch, but Carax teases us with the memory of her beauty, on posters all over Paris and with her return at the end, as her seductive self.
