“Extraordinary … BAY OF ANGELS may be Demy’s most daring and unlikely feat: a rigorous work of art about people who live on hunches and whims.”
—Criterion
“What would this film be like without Jeanne Moreau? The picture is almost an emanation of Moreau, inconceivable without her. “
—Pauline Kael
Jeanne Moreau plays a lost woman with a vice threatening to undo her in Jacques Demy’s stunning, tragic love story set in the seaside casinos of Nice. Here, the game is everything and the central metaphor of gambling applies to love, lust, and youth. Features one of Michel Legrand’s greatest scores.
