If you loved La tapadera, try Noche larga y febril
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 Martin Ritt, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La tapadera, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Noche larga y febril is
Autolycus meets Faulkner in a sunbaked Mississippi town where a drifter insinuates himself into the Varner dynasty then watches the house catch fire. A star-making turn by Paul Newman keeps the fuse short. 1958 Dixie noir.
