If you loved Maigret, try A Promise

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 Patrice Leconte, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Maigret, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Promise is

Here's a film that thinks forbidden love is still forbidden. A woman falls for her husband's protégé, and they pine after being separated by World War I. The promise of the title is kept, for better or worse.
