If you loved Ballad of a Small Player, try Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
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
Theysit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ballad of a Small Player, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is
New Orleans, post-Katrina, a medal pinned to a dirty uniform. A back injury festers, pills are popped, a lieutenant's badge collects dust. Herzog lenses a hellish America.
