If you loved The Wings of the Dove, try The Shepherd
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 Iain Softley, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wings of the Dove, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Shepherd is
You're a Royal Air Force pilot struggling with a dodgy compass over the North Sea on Christmas Eve, and then total instrument failure. A mysterious good samaritan appears out of the fog. Softley's film evokes a vintage boy's own adventure, though its simple setup belies darker depths.
