Marie is just out from prison when she runs into Baptiste, a young paranoid needing companionship. In their pursuit of a mysterious briefcase carried by Marie's former lover, they roam the street of Paris, transformed into a giant board game, a maze spotted with mysterious traps, puzzling clues, and chance encounters. Maybe they are bricks in some sinister scheme, maybe they are playing a board game, maybe it's a fairy tale, maybe it's yet something else...

Meet the New Wave (same as the old wave)... The problem with many French films is that the actors maintain a classical style (as though they were performing on stage) as opposed to method actors, like the States had been churning out since a decade before _Le Pont du Nord_ hit the screens. Written and performed by mother / daughter duo Bulle and Pascale Ogier (who would die in 3 years from a heart murmur compounded with drug use the day before her 26th birthday), _Le Pont du Nord_ is directed by Jacques Rivette, a pillar of French New Wave cinema. While the views of Paris in 1980 (including my neighborhood and Metro station!) are quaint, the rest of this movie isn't New Waving but drowning.
