If you loved Bugsy Malone, try The Road to Wellville
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 Alan Parker, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bugsy Malone, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Road to Wellville is
The film follows a disgruntled duo touring a quirky wellness retreat while a silver-tongued opportunist schemes to crash the breakfast-cereal party. A bastion of early 20th-century health fads, the spa serves as a backdrop for ambitions both nutritious and otherwise. Not quite a cereal commercial, not quite a period piece.
