If you loved The Rite, try After the Rehearsal

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 Ingmar Bergman, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Rite, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What After the Rehearsal is

All About Eve if directed by a misanthrope. A theater director is confronted by the anxieties of his past when an actress asks him about her late mother, his former star. Bergman turns theatrical artifice into stark emotional reckoning.
