Eiffel

Beautifully produced film with great story, great filming, great actors, but spoilt by very poor ending. Eiffel, the architect of the amazing tower, is beset by huge financial problems, huge construction problems, huge political problems, yet suddenly we cut to the completed tower, with crowds cheering and champagne flowing, and no explanation as to how any of these issues were resolved! Did someone let an amateur editor loose on the movie?

This had so much potential and they ruined it. The huge majority of the movie is about a love story and not the creation of the Eiffel Tower.

If you want to make a love story, make a separate love story movie. The creation of the tower and the obstacles and all the other things is so much more interesting. The story should have focused on that.

The movie "Eiffel" is more interesting from a historical point of view of the building of the tower than the fictional romance between its builder and Adrienne. But I must admit that the authors managed to create a credible plot by mixing the history of the professional career of Mr. Eiffel with a fictional romance where destiny plays a big role. Overall, this movie turned out to be a typical melancholy drama.

Pleasant for the acting and nice to watch for the budget invested in the sets and everything of this period... for the rest, the love story, put ahead of the architectural project and G. Eiffel's carreer, is disappointing and particularly boring (and too loooong), too bad ...

Director Martin Bourboulon truly captures the passion and enthusiasm of the protagonist, Eiffel, in this biographical film. Tasked with designing a magnificent landmark for the upcoming Paris World Fair, the movie not only authentically portrays his love story with Adrienne but also emphasizes Eiffel's spirit and his rallying cry to the workers. Particularly, in the face of engineering challenges and the essence of problem-solving, it underscores why the world has not seen a second Eiffel Tower. This film beautifully illustrates that when you beautify and perfect something, it becomes truly awe-inspiring because the fusion of aesthetics and craftsmanship sets the bar for greatness.
