If you loved The Ottoman Lieutenant, try Return to Paradise
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 Return to Paradise is
Malaysian jungle summer air thick with humidity and a distant orangutan call, a tattered backpack lies abandoned. Two friends face a haunting choice: share a sentence or abandon one of their own. A tense moral dilemma unfolds in 90s thriller style.
