If you loved Verflucht bis zum jüngsten Tag, try Stanley und Iris
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 Martin Ritt, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Verflucht bis zum jüngsten Tag, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Stanley und Iris is
The film follows an illiterate cafeteria cook who sets his sights on a newly widowed woman. Their growing bond leads her to uncover his secret after he's fired. She then attempts to teach him reading by candlelight, with predictably messy results.
