DVD Reviews of The Girl On the Bridge ( La Fille sur le pont ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]

DVD Review: Charmed (for two-thirds of this very good movie)
Summary: 4 Stars

What a wonderful experience. . .until it wasn't.
Listen:
"In this final chapter, we approach style in its broader meaning: style in the sense of what is distinguished and distinguishing. Here we leave solid ground. Who can confidently say what ignites a certain combination of words, causing them to explode in the mind? Who knows why certain notes in music are capable of stirring the listener deeply, though the same notes, slightly rearranged, are impotent? These are high mysteries, and this chapter is a mystery story, thinly disguised."
This, of course, is E.B. White from the chapter on style he appended to William Strunk's "Elements of Style", a short necessary book for writers. . .and others.
It is appropriate to quote here because this charming story of this sad, lost girl and this sad, lost man does everything right for so long. . .until it doesn't, until, at sea, its style changes.
I think--just sometimes--I could have had a wonderful editor's touch. It would have allowed me (I think correctly) to end "Kite Runner" in an Afgan alley; it would have allowed me to leave Seymour Glass in the elevator in "A Perfect Day for Banannafish". . .it would have allowed me to stop this great movie at sea.
Until the damaging denouement, a great, touching film.

DVD Review: VHS technology on DVD
Summary: 3 Stars

A very good movie -- too bad that this region 1 DVD (released July 1,
2008) is exactly the same thing as the previously available VHS tape:
white English subtitles (non-removable) are printed over the video
frame (often impossible to read when it is white on white).

The soundtrack is original French.
There are no other options or features on this DVD.

DVD Review: An amazing movie
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the best movies I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, it was not released on DVD...

DVD Review: Hard to watch
Summary: 3 Stars

Ignoring the various implications of the interesting plot, one is forced to endure numerous scenes of sharp knives being thrown at writhing young women, always missing by just a hair. Over and over, these scenes play out until, inevitably, one knife goes astray into the leg of one of the women, not the main character. Fortunately, the film is b&w, so the blood is somewhat less nauseating to have to see. Beyond that, if you can stand it, the film is very beautifully shot, while the subject matter concerns love and its many meanings. French, very.

DVD Review: Love it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I first rented this movie via netflix and loved it so much I just knew I had to have the DVD for my collection. A classic

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: It's night on a Paris bridge. A girl leans over Seine River with tears in her eyes and a violent yearning to drown her sorrows. Out of nowhere someone takes an interest in her. He is Gabor, a knife thrower who needs a human target for his show. The girl, Adele, has never been lucky and nowhere else to go. So she follows him. They travel along the northern bank of the Mediterranean to perform and in the process win a big fortune through gambling. Although both of them continue a platonic relationship, the sex-starved girl attempts to sleep with handsome guys she encounters throughout the journey. Finally, Adele falls in love with a newly-wed groom and both of them elope to Greece, while Gabor is stuck in Turkey. Then Adele is dumped by the groom. Only by now both Gabor and Adele realize that luck isn't with them unless they get together again. But both of them are so broke that they can't even feed themselves, let alone getting back to Paris and reunite... SCREENED/AWARDED AT: BAFTA Awards, Ceasar Awards, Golden Globes,
