If you loved Les Misérables, try Die besten Absichten
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Die besten Absichten hat ungefähr 9.3× Stimmen weniger als Les Misérables — ein tieferer Cut, keine Mainstream-Empfehlung. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Bille August, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Les Misérables, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Die besten Absichten is
A three-hour film about Ingmar Bergman's parents? Someone was feeling confident. Henrik, a poor theology student, meets Anna, a wealthy woman, and they marry despite their differences. Marital stress ensues when Anna finds country life isn't for her. It did win the Palme d'Or, so someone liked it.
