If you loved Colossal Youth, try In Vanda's Room
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 Pedro Costa, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Colossal Youth, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What In Vanda's Room is
Mean Streets without Scorsese's sentiment. Vanda Duarte drifts through Lisbon's Fontainhas district, a casualty of addiction. Costa's stark realism avoids exploitation, finding an austere beauty.
