If you loved Une Promesse, try Ridicule
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 Patrice Leconte, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Une Promesse, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ridicule is
It takes a noble to get drained. A poor French lord seeks royal support for a drainage project. Courtly games are a real drain on him.
