The Bridge (; ) is a 1999 French romantic drama film, directed by Gérard Depardieu and Frédéric Auburtin, starring Carole Bouquet, Depardieu and Charles Berling.
Normandy, 1962. For 15 years, Mina has been married to Georges, with whom she has a son, Tommy. She used to be very much in love with Georges but the passion of their marriage has died out. Mina meets Mathias, a handsome bridge-building engineer, and falls in love with him.
The Bridge was Depardieu's second film as a director, 15 years after Le tartuffe. Lead actress Carole Bouquet was Depardieu's real-life partner at the time. It was the debut film of Mélanie Laurent.
Les Echos called the film a decent "first attempt" at directing by Depardieu and praised the performances of the three leads. Le Monde gave the film a negative review, calling it "banal", old-fashioned and ridiculously devoid of style.
The film performed poorly at the French box-office, selling 270 865 admissions.
The film was released on VHS in 2000 and on DVD in 2007.
