If you loved It’s the Law, try Once Upon a Time in Bethlehem
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 Salvatore Ficarra, Valentino Picone, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to It’s the Law, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Once Upon a Time in Bethlehem is
A couple of modern crooks get yanked into the first Christmas like it’s a timeshare presentation. They stumble through Palestine, shepherds and stars included. The film’s heart is where the donkey is, which is to say, exactly nowhere new.
