Critically acclaimed and visually ravishing story of the unlikely tryst between a runaway art student, distressed by impending blindness and a previous romance, and an avant-garde crusty, who meet while sleeping rough on Pont-Neuf. Director Carax takes us on an enchanted journey through a Paris of streets, rivers, bridges, escalators, the Metro and art museums as the movie progresses from the gritty reality of poverty and homelessness to a flamboyant firework lit fantasy land.

THE INTRUDER (2004)
Certification15 Our Rating
A reclusive French hermit, a man nearing 70 with heart problems, living alone with his dogs in the forest near the French-Swiss border, uses his savings to fly to Korea for a somewhat shady transplant and then bids to build a ship to sail to the South Seas where he may be reunited with an estranged son. Another beautiful, slightly existential drama from the director of Beau Travail. A haunting, enigmatic meditation on life, death, our fragile sense of identity and the wages of solipsism.
