If you loved Marchand de Rêves, try Baarìa
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 Giuseppe Tornatore, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Marchand de Rêves, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Baarìa is
Giuseppe Tornatore here attempts the big, multi-generational family drama. It follows Peppino from his 1920s childhood in Sicily through his Communist Party activism and family life. It is, if nothing else, certainly a very long film.
