If you loved The Celluloid Closet, try When We Were Kings
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 Documentary / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Celluloid Closet, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What When We Were Kings is
Ali meets Foreman with a Kinshasa swerve. Two aging boxers and a boy-king promoter collide in Zaire where the fight purse and a star-studded festival hang in the balance. The film lets the ring and the stage tell a story of ambition and energy carried by Ali and the musicians he charmed.
