Bay of Angels

In this 1963 French romantic drama, a quiet bank clerk in Paris is drawn into the high-stakes world of a beautiful and troubled woman who has gambled away everything. Set against the picturesque backdrop of southern France, the film follows their tumultuous relationship as they chase each other through casinos and hotels, their love and addiction to roulette driving them to extremes. With stunning black-and-white cinematography and standout performances from Jeanne Moreau and Claude Mann, Bay of Angels is a lush and lyrical study in obsession and desire.
