Alex makes his home amid the construction chaos of Pont-Neuf, Paris\u2019 oldest bridge, closed for renovation. He relies on a meager income from fire-breathing street performances to keep him on a steady supply of barbiturates and booze. Mich\u00e8le is a young artist from a well-off family who leaves home in an apparent attempt to outrun the illness that is slowly making her go blind. Alex is immediately smitten with the distraught Mich\u00e8le and invites her to share his squat on the bridge. Their romance seems to defy every obstacle, but his impulse to protect her eventually morphs into a dangerous and impulsive possessiveness. By turns luridly squalid and feverishly lyrical, The Lovers on the Bridge\u00a0was the most expensive film in the history of French cinema at the time of its making.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/video\/detail\/amzn1.dv.gti.aedc160f-4a86-4875-996b-ba068412d5e6?autoplay=0&amp;ref_=atv_cf_strg_wb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE LOVERS ON THE BRIDGE 1991 (4K Restored Version Released in 2025) \u2013 125\u2032 \u2013 Drama, Romance, Paris.
