If you loved La ciudad de la alegría, try Vatel
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Roland Joffé, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La ciudad de la alegría, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Vatel is
Apparently royalty requires a lot of party planning. A prince hosts Louis XIV at his chateau to secure a commission. It all goes predictably over the top.
