Movies that feel like The Ambassador (2011)
Danish journalist Mads Brügger goes undercover as a Liberian Ambassador to embark on a dangerous yet hysterical journey to uncover the blood diamond trade in Africa.
If you loved The Ambassador, the closest films we have are Los Angeles Plays Itself (2004), The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young (2014) and The Act of Killing (2012). All three share The Ambassador's contemplative and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden (2014).
Can't choose? Answer three questions and get one movie for tonight.
If The Ambassador hit the spot, these will too
Documentary built on stillness, twice over
Epic history, and it commits to that
Contemplative history in both cases
Leans harder into drama than The Ambassador does
Both lean on scale more than on documentary
History in the same key
Products of the same few years
Both know what they want from history
History of the same temperament
The documentary is handled with the same confidence
Cut from the same history cloth
