If you loved Fast Food Nation, try Me and Orson Welles
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 Richard Linklater, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fast Food Nation, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Me and Orson Welles is
A teenager in 1937 New York gets a taste of showbiz by landing a role in Orson Welles’ *Julius Caesar*. As backstage drama unfolds, a production assistant with ambitions of her own becomes his distraction. The film settles for a nostalgic glow without quite capturing its namesake’s fire.
