Synopsis
This precisely wrought, emotionally penetrating romantic drama from
Jacques Demy, set largely in the casinos of Nice, is a visually lovely but darkly realistic investigation into love and obsession. A bottle-blonde
Jeanne Moreau is at her blithe best as a gorgeous gambling addict, and
Claude Mann is the bank clerk drawn into her risky world. Featuring a mesmerizing score by
Michel Legrand,
Bay of Angels is among Demy’s most sombre works.
