If you loved His Secret Life, try Loose Cannons
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 Ferzan Özpetek, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to His Secret Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
