If you loved Casanova, try The Hoax

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Hoax has roughly 4.0× fewer votes than Casanova — 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 Lasse Hallström, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Casanova, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Hoax is

Biopics usually flatter the famous, but this one's about the guy who invented a whole other biopic. A struggling writer hatches a scheme to publish fake memoirs of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes. It all goes predictably sideways once the lies get thicker than the advance.
