If you loved Madame de…, try El placer
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 Max Ophüls, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Madame de…, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What El placer is
A trio of tales sharing a theme one might call joie de vivre or simply getting away with things. It follows a masked man chasing fleeting glamour, a brothel’s madam shepherding her girls through an awkward country communion, and a painter’s doomed infatuation with his muse. Perfectly charming, if a little too pleased with itself.
