If you loved Great Balls of Fire!, try Breathless

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 Jim McBride, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Great Balls of Fire!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Breathless is

A petty crook hitches an LA ride to meet a French exchange student, only to upgrade his stolen getaway ride to a one-way corpse. The chase begins when the brief detour yields a cop with a badge and a pulse. Four decades on it's still ahead of its time, though its heart remains parked at the curb.
