If you loved The French Minister, try In the Electric Mist
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 Bertrand Tavernier. If that's the register that drew you to The French Minister, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What In the Electric Mist is
Louisiana bayou. Fog and cicadas. A drowned woman. Detective Dave Robicheaux hunts a mobster tied to a Civil War film shoot while dredging up the decades-old mystery of a murdered black man. The movie's star complicates matters. Tavernier’s adaptation of James Lee Burke is a glum exercise in star-wattage.
