If you loved Everybody's Fine, try The Star Maker
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 Giuseppe Tornatore, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Everybody's Fine, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Star Maker is
Here's a film that asks: what if a Sicilian hustler made a movie? Joe travels around Sicily in the 1950s, pretending to be a talent scout. He falls for Beata, a would-be nun, but their romance ends abruptly. It's a film about filmmaking that somehow avoids actually making one.
