Angel-A Movie Synopsis
André (Jamel Debbouze) isn’t feeling that great about Paris.
He’s a down-on-his-luck con man at the end of his rope. In debt to
local gangsters, he decides to plunge himself off a bridge into the Seine.
But he can’t even do that right, because a fellow-jumper named Angela (Rie
Rasmussen) beats him to it. Diving in, André rescues her.
Angela is a gorgeous creature -- a long, leggy blonde who towers over
André who is short, dark and one-armed. They make an odd pair. But Angela
declares that since André saved her, she will now save him -- and sets out
to do so, both financially and spiritually. Is Angela simply repaying André
for his kindness? Or are there forces at work beyond his comprehension?
brilliant and original. hollywood should learn how to write better story lines for their movies from this.
