If you loved Palmeras en la nieve, try Las ilusiones perdidas
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Theysit in Drama / History / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Palmeras en la nieve, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Las ilusiones perdidas is
A big, old-fashioned literary adaptation, they don't make many of these anymore. An impoverished young poet chases fame in Paris, but mostly finds corruption. It's a long movie about how hard it is to be an idealist, perhaps too long.
