Eiffel is a 2021 French romantic drama film directed by Martin Bourboulon, from a script written by Caroline Bongrand.

Eiffel premiered on 2 March 2021 at the Alliance Française French Film Festival in Australia, and was released in France on 13 October 2021, by Pathé Distribution.

September 1886 – Eiffel receives an award for his groundbreaking design for an iron skeleton to support the Statue of Liberty.

Transfixed by her, Eiffel suddenly announces he will build a 300 metre steel tower, shocking the other guests.

Impressed by having secretly witnessed Eiffel’s heroism on the bridge, she speaks up in defence of his request for the wood and secures it for him.

At a garden party, he dances with Adrienne and asks her to meet him at a cheap hotel in the country, and she refuses.

Restac, who married Adrienne and nursed her back to health after her family abandoned her, is aware of her affair with Eiffel.

He tells her he will ruin Eiffel’s reputation and destroy the tower’s chances of completion if she doesn’t end the affair.

Furious and powerless, Eiffel orders the tower’s construction to be completed with rivets instead of bolts, so it can never be torn down.

Peter Debruge of Variety wrote that "Not a biopic so much as a sketchy piece of historical fiction, Eiffel identifies itself as 'librement inspiré de faits réels,' which roughly translates to 'a made-up crock of hooey'.

"[15] David Stratton of The Australian wrote that "I am a man with an idea greater than himself, Eiffel tells the various interested parties when he makes his formal bid to build the tower.
