If you loved Henry & June, try Rising Sun
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 Philip Kaufman. If that's the register that drew you to Henry & June, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Rising Sun is
Los Angeles. Midsummer. A dropped cell phone. A call girl dead in the offices of a powerful Japanese conglomerate, and two LAPD detectives walk into a boardroom of suspects. A security disk holds the key, or so it seems. Kaufman's adaptation of Crichton feels like a dry run for Mann's *Heat*.
