If you loved Vatel, try Fat Man and Little Boy
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 Roland Joffé, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vatel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Fat Man and Little Boy is
You’re General Leslie Groves picking J. Robert Oppenheimer for the secret bomb project, a partnership forged in clashing wills. Research races toward twin designs while egos collide behind chain-link fences. The film lingers on the quiet before the mushroom cloud.
