If you loved The Earrings of Madame de..., try Brief einer Unbekannten
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

What Brief einer Unbekannten is
Here's a film unafraid to suggest men are clueless. A dying woman's letter recounts her lifelong obsession with a pianist, who may or may not recall her existence. It’s quite a lot of angst based on very little evidence.
