If you loved Après la répétition, try Vers la joie
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Ingmar Bergman, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Après la répétition, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Vers la joie is
A violinist’s pursuit of artistic perfection wrecks his marriage, narrated in flashbacks set to Beethoven’s Ninth. The film dissects ambition and love with Bergman’s customary gravity. It’s less a symphony than a string quartet—intimate, uneven, but quietly moving.
