If you loved Vania en la calle 42, try Niña bonita

Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Louis Malle, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vania en la calle 42, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Niña bonita is
1910s New Orleans brothel raises a twelve-year-old whose mother trades affection for rent. A photographer’s lens deepens the transaction into something tender then brutal. The girl’s eyes stay with you long after.
