If you loved A Drama of Jealousy (and other things), try A Special Day

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 Ettore Scola, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Drama of Jealousy (and other things), the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Special Day is

Here's a movie that thinks it's about Italy, but it's actually about ennui. Confined to their apartment block on the day Hitler visits Rome, a journalist and a housewife find unexpected connection. It's the kind of film that makes you grateful for your own messy, imperfect life.
