If Cold War hit the spot, these will too

Paris shapes both of them

Romantic where it counts, tender underneath
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Stylish and contemplative in the same breath

Both lean on romance more than on music
The difference: Missing the tenderness of Cold War

Romance with a pulse of tenderness, in both cases

Stylish drama in both cases
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Romance built on stillness, twice over
The difference: Leans harder into comedy than Cold War does

Romantic music, and it commits to that

Both are Paweł Pawlikowski's work, and they rhyme

The same preoccupation in both: black and white


Both keep coming back to the same thing: 1950s
