If you loved Grand Prix, try Birdman of Alcatraz

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 John Frankenheimer, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Grand Prix, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Birdman of Alcatraz is

You find yourself locked in a cell so small the light feels borrowed. Then one day a sparrow falls at your feet and you cradle it like a secret. Before long you're raising birds that know your voice better than the guards do. The warden watches as your cages grow louder than his prison ever was.
