If you loved Primary Colors, try Charlie Wilson's War
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 Mike Nichols, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Primary Colors, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Charlie Wilson's War is
A Houston office, autumn, a whiskey glass. A congressman and a socialite meet, a CIA plan unfolds, Afghan rebels wait. Mike Nichols balances humor and geopolitics.
