Synopsis

André owes money to a crime boss. In despair, he heads to a bridge over the Seine, intending to commit suicide. But there he sees a woman apparently preparing to end her life too. The two end up spending a memorable summer night in nearly deserted Paris, where she exposes herself as a true angel.

Our take

Stunningly photographed in electrically crisp black and white, this romantic sci-fi spectacular comes laced with a tincture of noir. French comedian Jamel Debbouze and Rie Rasmussen star as one of the most atypical couples in cinema, falling in love against a vividly rendered Parisian skyline.
