If you loved Mr. Turner, try Topsy-Turvy
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Topsy-Turvy has roughly 3.5× fewer votes than Mr. Turner — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
