If you loved Before Night Falls, try At Eternity's Gate
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 Julian Schnabel, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Before Night Falls, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What At Eternity's Gate is
Arles, cypress trees swaying, paintbrush scratching canvas. A worn chair, a patch of sunlight, the weight of color. Schnabel frames the fragility of genius.
