If you loved A Soldier's Story, try F.I.S.T.
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Norman Jewison, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Soldier's Story, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What F.I.S.T. is
Cleveland docks, 1937. A lunch pail left open on a snow-edged loading bay. A warehouse worker shakes hands with men in overcoats, then signs a union sheet with a pen that won’t stop leaking ink. Less Capra than Cronenberg doing labor politics—wear gloves before shaking hands.
