If you loved Billy Bathgate, try La piel del deseo
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Robert Benton, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to Billy Bathgate, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La piel del deseo is
A 1990s academic scandal gets a second act in this quiet cleanup drama. When Coleman Silk's accidental word choice ends his career he documents the mess with a novelist friend only to find the story has deeper roots than anyone guessed. A novelistic adaptation that mistakes discretion for depth.
