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

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. A Drama of Jealousy (and other things) has roughly 3.3× fewer votes than A Special Day — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Special Day, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Drama of Jealousy (and other things) is

Ettore Scola gives us a love triangle with a side of politics. Oreste, Adelaide and Nello form an uneasy bond amid rallies and dirty beaches. Hostility rises, passions flare and jealousy takes hold. It's a very specific time capsule.
