If you loved L'Assoiffé, try Fleurs de papier
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 Guru Dutt, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to L'Assoiffé, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Fleurs de papier is
An old-school melodrama about the fragility of showbiz ambitions. A celebrated filmmaker becomes hopelessly smitten with a fledgling starlet, their passion igniting then immolating on studio sets and rain-slicked streets. It’s a lavish heartbreak wrapped in cigarette smoke and soft-focus regret.
