If you loved Gangs of New York, try The Aviator
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 Martin Scorsese, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gangs of New York, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Aviator is
Los Angeles, 1930s, a biplane soaring overhead. Hughes' perfectionism fuels his filmmaking and flying innovations, a lavish party masking his unraveling sanity. Scorsese's meticulousness suits Hughes' obsessive nature.
