If you loved E la vita continua, try Sotto gli ulivi
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Abbas Kiarostami, and they both carry the foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to E la vita continua, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Sotto gli ulivi is
A movie about making a movie about making a movie, so at least one of them might work out. A director recasts a scene with a young man opposite a woman from his past, and the line between performance and reality gets sticky. The romance never quite catches fire, but the awkward silence afterward feels oddly earned.
