If you loved Gallipoli, try The Year of Living Dangerously

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

Somehow, it turns out having a love affair while the world burns is still mostly about bad timing.
