If you loved The Star Maker, try Baaria
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 Giuseppe Tornatore, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Star Maker, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Baaria is
Giuseppe Tornatore here attempts the big, multi-generational family drama. It follows Peppino from his 1920s childhood in Sicily through his Communist Party activism and family life. It is, if nothing else, certainly a very long film.
