 Bridge Over Troubled Water
The Lovers on the Bridge is one of the most splendidly reckless films ever made--the film that might have torn through the mind of Godard's Pierrot le Fou, after love made him paint his face blue and tie sticks of dynamite to his hair.
It is not a film that "tells the story of," even though there is a story of sorts--about Michèle (Binoche), an aspiring artist from a well-to-do family, driven by illness and heartache to live on the street, and Alex (Denis Lavant), the mumbling, skinheaded loner who fixes on her.
The Lovers on the Bridge is about the face of Juliette Binoche, haggard and grimy and intent, with one eye bandaged and the other rolling up into her skull, and the tense, tumbling, doughily muscled body of Denis Lavant, which is always getting shattered or blown apart.

Bridge Over Troubled Water was one of the biggest-selling albums of its decade, and it hasn't fallen too far down on the list in years since.

The album was the swansong of the band which came to an abrupt cease after the release of this album following the irreconcilable differences between Paul and Art.Throughout this album there are indications that lead to this plain fact.But we’ll be talking about that in a while.
The title track of the album Bridge Over Troubled Waters is to my mind the best S&G song ever written and composed.Art’s voice is tremendously heart-searing and it always seems he uses more than his voice to sing.
But the melancholy strain of the songs is almost certain to have a soothing impact over your heart and head alike.
