If you loved Victoire sur la nuit, try Grand Hotel
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

What Grand Hotel is
A pre-Code soap opera with a floor plan instead of a plot. A rich invalid, a desperate businessman, a fading ballerina, and others orbit the same chandeliers without ever really meeting. It’s less about human connection and more about how well costume design can distract from chaos.
