If you loved Marshall, try Philadelphia
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 territory. If that's the register that drew you to Marshall, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Philadelphia is
A law office in downtown Philadelphia, papers scattered on a desk, a typewriter clacking away. Two lawyers from different worlds, one fired for having AIDS, the other a homophobic corporate climber, team up to take on the establishment. Demme humanizes a city's conscience.
