If you loved There Be Dragons, try While at War

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 Drama / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to There Be Dragons, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What While at War is

You're a celebrated writer in 1930s Spain, backing a military coup for the promise of order. But the rising tide of violence forces a reckoning. Amenábar directs with poise, locating the personal within a conflict's vast, cruel shadow.
