If you loved Une longue journée qui s'achève, try Distant Voices, Still Lives
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 Terence Davies, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Une longue journée qui s'achève, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Distant Voices, Still Lives is
kitchen-sink melodrama without kitchen-sink uplift. A working-class Liverpool family struggles through postwar austerity under the shadow of a violent patriarch. Davies finds unexpected grace notes amid the gloom, especially in the unexpected bursts of song.
