If you loved The Secret of the Grain, try Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno
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 Abdellatif Kechiche, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Secret of the Grain, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno is
A desert romance seasoned like over-salted fries. Amin, a frustrated writer, summers in Sète reconnecting with family, friends and flirtations around the harbour. Turns out family barbecues and bar flirtations can’t be scripted from a Paris café.
