If you loved Fat Man and Little Boy, try Vatel

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 Roland Joffé, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fat Man and Little Boy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Vatel is

Apparently royalty requires a lot of party planning. A prince hosts Louis XIV at his chateau to secure a commission. It all goes predictably over the top.
