If you loved Claires Knie, try Die Mama und die Hure
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
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, cerebral, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Claires Knie, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Die Mama und die Hure is
Jean Eustache checks in with the Parisian ennui of the early 1970s. Alexandre floats between his stable girlfriend Marie and Veronika, a nurse with a self-destructive streak. The women's tolerance for Alexandre's dithering eventually expires. It's a long three and a half hours, but that's what Eustache was going for.
