If you loved Copying Beethoven, try Total Eclipse
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 Agnieszka Holland, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Copying Beethoven, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Total Eclipse is
An ambitious teenager and his married mentor pursued art and each other with reckless intensity. Their liaison scorched both poetic careers and private lives. The film settles for fashion over fire.
