If you loved Mes petites amoureuses, try La Maman et la Putain

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 Jean Eustache, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mes petites amoureuses, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La Maman et la Putain is

Jean Eustache checks in with the Parisian ennui of the early 1970s. Alexandre floats between his stable girlfriend Marie and Veronika, a nurse with a self-destructive streak. The women's tolerance for Alexandre's dithering eventually expires. It's a long three and a half hours, but that's what Eustache was going for.
