If you loved Gods and Generals, try Pollock
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
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gods and Generals, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Pollock is
Van Gogh without the ear. The film tracks the painter's career from obscurity to fame, complicated by his alcoholism and tormented psyche. Ed Harris's passion project captures the downtown New York art scene of the postwar years.
