If you loved Boogie Nights, try Magnolia
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 Thomas Anderson, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Boogie Nights, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Magnolia is
San Fernando Valley, random day, rain impending. A dying father lies in bed, a young boy genius stands on stage, ready to answer. Anderson orchestrates chaos with symphonic ease.
