Having just finished his collaboration on the Statue of Liberty, celebrated engineer Gustave Eiffel is on top of the world. Now, the French government is pressuring him to design something spectacular for the 1889 Paris World Fair, but Eiffel simply wants to design the subway. Suddenly, everything changes when Eiffel crosses paths with a mysterious woman from his past. Their long lost, forbidden passion inspires him to change the Paris skyline forever.
"Eiffel is a brisk, exciting and likeable film. The creation of the tower is still impressive today." - Variety
"Ambitious, handsomely appointed and unapologetically old-fashioned story-telling." - Screen International
"'I am a man with an idea greater than himself,' Eiffel tells the various interested parties when he makes his formal bid to build the tower. I think the director of this film took that line to heart, and I am glad he did. - The Australian
