If you loved Sweet Dreams, try The French Lieutenant's Woman
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 Karel Reisz, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sweet Dreams, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The French Lieutenant's Woman is
A film that keeps two affairs in play at once. In a costume drama of the moment, actors playing 19th-century lovers can’t resist the script’s romance. Keeping the stage romance separate from their own was the trickier role.
