If you loved Café de Flore, try Martin Eden
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
Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Café de Flore, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Martin Eden is
A proletarian poet gets tangled in his own manifesto, circa 1908. After a sailor stumbles into literature, he splits time between genteel romance and class loyalty. At least the romantic heroism is in the footnotes.
