If you loved The End of the Affair, try Ondine

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 Neil Jordan, 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 The End of the Affair, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ondine is

Neil Jordan does like a fairy tale. A newly sober Irish fisherman pulls a mysterious woman from the sea. His ailing daughter believes she's a magical being. It's a sweet film that maybe tries a little too hard for its own good.
