EIFFEL

It’s one of the world’s most iconic structures, but how much do you know about the Eiffel Tower’s history? This film is a dramatisation of the story of Gustave Eiffel (played by Romain Duris) whose company designed and built Paris’ famous wrought-iron lattice tower as the entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair. After initially struggling for inspiration because he was more interested in designing the city’s subway, the engineer reconnects with a woman he knew many years earlier and everything begins to change. In cinemas now.
