If you loved The Shipping News, try Casanova
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 Lasse Hallström, 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 Shipping News, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Casanova is
That man’s shelf of conquests wobbles when a new face refuses to smile back. A serial seducer meets his match in a woman who treats his legendary charm like a drafty window. His heart, once a rented room, now comes with a 99-year lease he can’t sublet.
