If you loved Sólo se vive una vez, try Encuentro en la noche
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 Fritz Lang, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sólo se vive una vez, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Encuentro en la noche is
Fritz Lang directs Barbara Stanwyck in this melodrama, so you know what you're getting. A woman returns to her small hometown and marries a sweet, uncomplicated fisherman. Soon, she finds herself drawn to another man, who is of course her husband's friend. It's a fairly glum affair, as you might expect.
