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
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to I've Loved You So Long, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Sarah's Key is
You rent a Paris flat from a family that won’t meet you and keep referring to a closet your young son won’t enter. While researching the Vel d’Hiv roundup you notice the previous owners’ surname on deeds duplicating a name you just saw in wartime files. A few postcards tucked behind a loose floorboard reveal a girl who locked her brother inside sixty years ago and never unlocked the door.
