What they share
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Big Blue, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Last Metro is
Occupied Paris turns theater into wartime hide-and-seek for an actress doubling as both star and producer. She and her hidden husband keep the curtain up while the Gestapo prowls the aisles. Sadly, it never gets less complicated than the first act.
