If you loved Ishtar, try Mikey und Nicky
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Elaine May. If that's the register that drew you to Ishtar, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mikey und Nicky is
You're a small-time gangster with a bleeding ulcer, sweating through a motel sheet, certain the boss has put a price on your head. You call the only guy you trust, your oldest friend, to talk through the dark. He shows up with jokes and bad timing, pretending everything's fine. The city hums with payphones and parked cars. It’s 1976 and nothing feels safe, not even loyalty.
