From the same director

Drama
We Live in Time
Almut finds her life forever changed by a chance encounter with Tobias, a recent divorcé. But after falling for each other, building a home, and starting a family, a difficult truth is revealed.
Bonnard: Pierre & Marthe
Based on the true story of renowned French painter Pierre Bonnard and his muse and wife, Marthe. Through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Bonnard immortalized her beauty and the essence of her soul in his art.
The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
Suite Française
Set in France during 1940, Suite Française follows beautiful Lucile Angellier who awaits news from her husband, a prisoner of war, whilst leading a stifled existence with her mean, controlling mother-in-law. When Parisian refugees pour into their small town, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers who take up residence in the villagers' homes, Lucile’s life is turned upside down. In the Angellier home, Lucile initially tries to ignore Bruno, the handsome and refined German officer who has been posted to live with them. But soon, a powerful love draws them together and traps them in the tragedy of war.
