If you loved The French Minister, try The Princess of Montpensier
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 Bertrand Tavernier. If that's the register that drew you to The French Minister, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Princess of Montpensier is
It seems this film is a royal mess of romance and war. Marie de Mézières is promised to the Prince of Montpensier. It predictably gets tangled in court politics.
