If you loved Duelo en el Cañón del diablo, try Charly
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 Ralph Nelson, and they both carry the outsider mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to Duelo en el Cañón del diablo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Charly is
A lab rat gets promoted to genius, then immediately starts wondering if any of this was legal. Charley Gordon’s IQ skyrockets after surgery, but the sudden upgrade leaves more questions than answers. The film is essentially a 1960s IQ test with bonus existential dread.
