If you loved Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, try Elle s'appelait Sarah
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
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Elle s'appelait Sarah is
You rent a Paris flat from a family that won’t meet you and keep referring to a closet your young son won’t enter. While researching the Vel d’Hiv roundup you notice the previous owners’ surname on deeds duplicating a name you just saw in wartime files. A few postcards tucked behind a loose floorboard reveal a girl who locked her brother inside sixty years ago and never unlocked the door.
