If you loved Vatel, try Stadt der Freude
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 Roland Joffé, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vatel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Stadt der Freude is
*Au Revoir les Enfants* in Calcutta. A disillusioned American doctor seeks renewal in India but finds himself mugged and adrift. Patrick Swayze's earnest performance elevates a film that might otherwise feel overly sentimental.
