If you loved Malcolm X, try Serpico
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
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Malcolm X, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Serpico is
New York streets, rainy nights, a lone saxophone. A cop's badge collects dust, a whistle blows, comrades turn cold. Lumet shoots the system with a documentarian's eye.
