Chasing the feel of watching The Irishman ? Here are the movies we recommend you watch right after.

Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" is a cinematic triumph that not only reunites some of the greatest actors of our time but also serves as a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the consequences of a life spent in organized crime. This film is a beautifully crafted epic that takes us on a journey through decades of American history and the shadowy underworld of the mafia. At its core, it's a character study of Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro), a hitman with a conflicted conscience, portrayed with incredible depth and nuance. De Niro's performance is a testament to his acting prowess, as he seamlessly ages his character over the course of the film. Joe Pesci, coming out of retirement for this role, is nothing short of extraordinary as Russell Bufalino, the calm and calculated mob boss. Al Pacino is electrifying as Jimmy Hoffa, the charismatic union leader with a fiery temper. The film's narrative, told through the lens of Sheeran's recollections, gives us a unique perspective on historical events and the inner workings of organized crime. The de-aging technology used is impressive, allowing these veteran actors to convincingly portray their characters across decades. "The Irishman" is a sprawling masterpiece, a contemplative meditation on a life of crime, loyalty, and the inevitable consequences of one's choices. It's a must-see for cinephiles and anyone who appreciates compelling storytelling and exceptional acting. Scorsese's latest work cements his status as a cinematic legend.

This Danish film which was the country's submission to the Oscars is about a delicate subject. A lawyer who specializes in defending children, and who is used to developing closeness with her clients including meeting with them in her home, starts having an affair with her teenage step-son.

There is inherent tension to this obviously very explicit plotline: how would a serious, non-erotic (or not-only-erotic) movie like this one portray such attraction. And of course, afterwards, what are the implications?

Watch this if you like weird movies. And don't be fooled by the first half, which serves just to set Jesse Eisenberg's character and the monotone life he leads. It's the calm before the storm, during which that character is attacked by a violent gang and decides to take self-defense classes in an unusual club. This is a movie about modern manhood and how it can lead to some pretty strange situations. Great performance from Eisenberg as usual.
