CINEMA Obscura’s choice for the December screening at Wiveliscombe Primary School is ‘Lovers on the Bridge’ (15).

Alex (Denis Lavant) is a Parisian down-and-out who returns from a homeless shelter to his more regular bed under Paris’ oldest bridge, the Pont-Neuf. He meets Michele (Juliette Binoche), a young painter who is slowly going blind. The pair fall in love but their happy life together is to be disrupted when Michele’s past catches up with her.

The film, directed by Leos Carax and in English with French subtitles, manages to pull off that rare feat of being visually stunning and emotionally engaging.

‘Lovers on the Bridge’ is being screened on Sunday (December 10) – doors open 7pm and the film starts 7.30pm. Guest membership is £5.
