If you loved La Grande Évasion, try Les Fantastiques Années 20
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Raoul Walsh, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Grande Évasion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Les Fantastiques Années 20 is
Autumn in New York, the clatter of a dropped bottle on wet pavement. Eddie Bartlett trades army boots for taxi keys, then whiskey crates, then a fleet of gleaming cabs. Lloyd Hart reads contracts under a green lamp while George Hally smiles with his fists. A machine-gun glide through Prohibition’s golden dark, wrapped in a trench coat.
