If you loved Mis pequeños amores, try La mamá y la puta
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 Jean Eustache, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mis pequeños amores, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La mamá y la puta is
Jean Eustache checks in with the Parisian ennui of the early 1970s. Alexandre floats between his stable girlfriend Marie and Veronika, a nurse with a self-destructive streak. The women's tolerance for Alexandre's dithering eventually expires. It's a long three and a half hours, but that's what Eustache was going for.
