If you loved Letter from an Unknown Woman, try Le Plaisir
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 Max Ophüls, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Letter from an Unknown Woman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Le Plaisir is
A trio of tales sharing a theme one might call joie de vivre or simply getting away with things. It follows a masked man chasing fleeting glamour, a brothel’s madam shepherding her girls through an awkward country communion, and a painter’s doomed infatuation with his muse. Perfectly charming, if a little too pleased with itself.
