If you loved Rifkin’s Festival, try Melinda und Melinda
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 Woody Allen, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rifkin’s Festival, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Melinda und Melinda is
A dinner party somehow splits into two identical yet diametrically opposed Melinda origin stories. One Melinda leans into Woody Allen's usual neurotic wit while the other dives into full-on existential despair. Exactly half of each scenario works, the rest just circles the same Manhattan block.
