Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the semantic functioning of various elements in Les amants du Pont-Neuf (1991) by using Semiotic film theory. This film presents stories of life, pain, hardship, and love of homeless people in Paris, France. The results of this analysis reveal potential of cinematic art to communicate marginality in modern society, to raise awareness of the realities of homelessness and to understand emotions of both suffering and happiness within their hearts.
