If you loved Stadt der Illusionen, try Verdammt sind sie alle
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 Vincente Minnelli, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Stadt der Illusionen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Verdammt sind sie alle is
An ex-novelist drifts back to his hometown post-WWII, annoying his upwardly mobile brother. He complicates his life by befriending a cheerful cardsharp and waffling between two women. The result is a regionally flavored hangover with better clothes.
