If you loved Erin Brockovich, try Traffic
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 Steven Soderbergh, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Erin Brockovich, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Traffic is
Washington DC suburbs, winter, a politician's dining room. A daughter's addiction, a policeman's testimony, a kingpin's wife, all entwined in the drug war. Soderbergh tackles the US war on drugs with characteristic nuance.
