If you loved 55 Steps, try Night Train to Lisbon
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Bille August, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to 55 Steps, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Night Train to Lisbon is
Bern, midday. A discarded valise. A classics instructor impulsively bails on his job and buys a one-way ticket south. Lisbon awaits, as does the mystery of a Salazar-era physician-poet and the network of old friends still guarding his secrets. Gloomy, overlong Euro-thriller for fans of Jeremy Irons completism.
