If you loved El ayuda de cámara, try Belleza prohibida
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 Richard Eyre, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to El ayuda de cámara, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Belleza prohibida is
One imagines the pitch meeting was fairly straightforward. A cross-dressing actor finds his career threatened when women are allowed on stage. London's most celebrated Desdemona, Ned Kynaston, finds himself upstaged by a woman, Maria, who once assisted his act. It's a frothy period piece, and it certainly looks like one.
