3 out of 6 people found the following review useful.
Lots more was possible given the fascinating subject, 1 March 2000
Author: Guy33134 from Coral Gables, Fl

PIGALLE disappoints as potentially fascinating subject matter is explored in traditional, and overdone plot lines. The Parisian entertainment area of Pigalle has a long, unique history. A contemporary film bearing its name could have served the double purpose of exposing the area's unique character, and delighting us with a good film. Instead, we get a cliche'-ridden film with the ubiquitous lowlives that inhabit all other seedy urban areas. If the film weren't in French, the viewer may not even know it was about PIGALLE. Entertaining, but not worthy of its name.
