If Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Before Sunrise (1995)

The same mix in both: stillness, then romance

Both built around love triangle

The same preoccupation in both: black and white

Black and white sits at the heart of each
The difference: 26 years apart, and the 1950s show

Both trade on tenderness more than on being drama

Adultery and marriage crisis, at the center of both

Contemplative romance, and it commits to that


Romance built on tenderness, twice over

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both keep circling back to marriage crisis

Redemption is the engine of both
In the mood for more contemplative?
