Angel-A (2005)

The first film directed by the iconic Luc Besson (Nikita, Leon, The Fifth Element, The Big Blue) in seven years, Angel-A, released by Optimum Home Entertainment on 29th January 2007, is his most personal and beautiful yet, and a love letter to his home town.

Shot in black and white in an unforgettably picturesque Paris, the film stars supermodel Rie Rasmussen, who starred in Brian de Palma's Femme Fatale and Jamel Debbouze, last seen in the smash hit Amelie.

Renowned director of photography Thierry Arbogast joins Luc Besson in their fifth collaboration, fifteen years since they first worked together on Nikita. Angel-A is a visually beautiful tale that begins when two strangers meet on a bridge in Paris one morning. Looking to escape his past Andre (Jamel Debbouze) accepts the help of the mysterious Angela (Rie Rasmussen) and sets in motion a chain of events that will change his life forever. Beautiful in its simplicity, Angel-A is a striking, supernatural love-story.
