If you loved Germinal, try Ensemble, c'est tout
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Claude Berri, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Germinal, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ensemble, c'est tout is
One imagines this film played very well in France. A sick woman ends up living with two men. This sounds like the setup for both a joke and a sensitive drama, and it manages to be neither.
