Worst movie in a long time


We watched several Juliette Binoche movies this year, some good, others boring, but we didn't care at all for "Les amants de Pont-Neuf".
The first 10 minutes were disgusting and hard to watch, but we continued for the first 40 minutes, but it goes on and on in the same horrible way.
Binoche must have made this film in order to be able to pay her rent I guess. Who in their own sane mind would volunteer taking on such a part???

The film is regularly cited as one of the best French films of the 90s and has an enormous cult cache, so she can't be too disappointed with the choice. In addition, she was Leos Carax's partner at the time, she had previously appeared in his (also brilliant) film Mauvais Sang, and the film is dedicated to her.

I wonder what films the OP does like?

One of my fav. films, lavant is my nr. 1 actor.

I agree so far as that it grossed me out quite a bit, too. I squinted through the beginning and admittedly fast forwarded a lot of it. Regardless, I got hooked in and I'm glad I didn't turn it off in the beginning.

Even if it isn't your jam: This isn't the kind of movie an actor takes on to pay the rent. She must have been feeling extra artsy and actor-like when she accepted the role.

Ja, das mag schon sein, aber mir gefiel es trotzdem nicht.
