If you loved Affliction, try Light Sleeper

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 Paul Schrader, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Affliction, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Light Sleeper is

You deal to a high-end New York clientele but struggle with insomnia and a desire to exit the business, and then a past flame reappears. The film is set against a backdrop of a city plagued by a string of murders.
