If you loved Nuts, try Stanley & Iris
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 Martin Ritt, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Nuts, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Stanley & Iris is
The film follows an illiterate cafeteria cook who sets his sights on a newly widowed woman. Their growing bond leads her to uncover his secret after he's fired. She then attempts to teach him reading by candlelight, with predictably messy results.
