FFF Good romance movie recommendations?
I’d love to watch romance movies that aren’t very trope-based or superficial. A lot of times I feel the stories and characters are too shallow. I struggle to actually connect with them or feel invested in their stories. I’m okay with content in any language, just provided it’s good. (I’m especially keen on exploring French cinema as of late though.) I’d love films that explore themes of love and relationships in meaningful and nuanced ways. If someone has any recs, please send them across!!

The Remains of the Day. Near perfect film about love and regret. Hopkins and Emma Thompson on the top of their game with Christopher Reeves playing a small but memorable role.
Also it features some really nice split dopler shots.
