If you loved The Year of Living Dangerously, try Gallipoli
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 Peter Weir, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Year of Living Dangerously, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Gallipoli is
You enlist with a friend in 1915 Perth, sprinting from Fremantle to the drilling fields in record time. The army ships you out to a peninsula the maps still call nothing, where the cliffs smell of salt and gunpowder. Then your unit marches toward a ridge that already holds the dead.
