If you loved The Lost King, try Chéri - Eine Komödie der Eitelkeiten
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 Stephen Frears, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Lost King, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chéri - Eine Komödie der Eitelkeiten is
Here's a film that wants to be your grandmother's favorite Merchant Ivory production. Set in Belle Epoque France, a young man ends his six-year affair with an older courtesan, as arranged by his mother. It's a shame they didn't just elope, as the film might have been more interesting.
