If you loved Little Buddha, try Stealing Beauty
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 Bernardo Bertolucci, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Little Buddha, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Stealing Beauty is
Bertolucci does his best Merchant-Ivory here. A young American woman travels to Italy after her mother's death to find the boy who stole her first kiss. The villa is full of eccentric expats, all of whom have their own ideas about Lucy's future. It's a movie, alright.
