If you loved My Night at Maud's, try The Green Ray
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 Éric Rohmer, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to My Night at Maud's, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Green Ray is
Rohmer does what he does, which is not much but somehow enough. Delphine seeks out the titular optical phenomenon while struggling to find a compatible vacation companion. It's the sort of movie that either bores you to tears or becomes your entire personality for a month.
