If you loved Vatel, try La Cité de la joie
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 Roland Joffé, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vatel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La Cité de la joie is
*Au Revoir les Enfants* in Calcutta. A disillusioned American doctor seeks renewal in India but finds himself mugged and adrift. Patrick Swayze's earnest performance elevates a film that might otherwise feel overly sentimental.
