If you loved 55 Steps, try Nachtzug nach Lissabon
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Bille August. If that's the register that drew you to 55 Steps, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Nachtzug nach Lissabon is
Bern, midday. A discarded valise. A classics instructor impulsively bails on his job and buys a one-way ticket south. Lisbon awaits, as does the mystery of a Salazar-era physician-poet and the network of old friends still guarding his secrets. Gloomy, overlong Euro-thriller for fans of Jeremy Irons completism.
