If you loved Je t'aime, je t'aime, try Muriel, ou le Temps d'un retour
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 Alain Resnais, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Je t'aime, je t'aime, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Muriel, ou le Temps d'un retour is
Hiroshima Mon Amour if everyone lied. A widow in coastal France deals in antiques as her stepson returns from war, haunted. The arrival of an old flame stirs buried secrets, both personal and political, in a film of deliberate alienation.
