Le Pont du Nord

Le Pont du Nord is a 1981 French film directed by Jacques Rivette.

[2] Marie (Bulle Ogier), a bank robber just out of prison, can no longer bear to live between four walls.

Together, they investigate a surreal mystery that includes a briefcase stuffed with obsessive political intrigue, civic redevelopment, a huge mechanical, flame-spewing dragon and several characters all named Max.

They invent a dangerous real-life game imagining Paris as a mysterious large scale board on which they play.

As usual, the story was jointly conceived with Rivette's collaborators, including Bulle Ogier, Pascale Ogier, Suzanne Schiffman and Jérôme Prieur, while the screenplay was written by Rivette.
