If you loved Madame Henderson Présente, try Chéri
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 Stephen Frears, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Madame Henderson Présente, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chéri is
Here's a film that wants to be your grandmother's favorite Merchant Ivory production. Set in Belle Epoque France, a young man ends his six-year affair with an older courtesan, as arranged by his mother. It's a shame they didn't just elope, as the film might have been more interesting.
