If you loved Providence, try Same Old Song
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 Alain Resnais, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Providence, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Same Old Song is
Observing the merry ballet of apartment hunting in Paris, Alain Resnais conducts an elegant pas de deux between desire and displacement. Camille’s thesis on history serves Simon just as well as it does Marc, both men following her through the city’s corridors, while Nicolas and Odile share the same staircase in pursuit of space. Some plot threads snap under the weight of their own charm before they’re fully tied.
