Is Light Sleeper the second part of Schrader's Lonley Man trilogy?

Yep, along with Taxi Driver and American Gigolo, both superior films to Light Sleeper in my opinion.

Hmm, Google told me that the trilogy (so-called) consists of American Gigolo, Light Sleeper, and Walker.

Either way, I can't drum up much interest to see any of them.

I had heard The Walker was part 3 when it came out last year (and no one saw it) and that AG was part the first but I wasn't sure which was #2.

Well, time for me to watch Jesus' Son.
Thanks

You should, it's great.  Alternatively, you can wait to see if it gets assigned to you in a later round!  ;)

Jesus' Son was a slight favorite, by the way, as the 58th seed.  Light Sleeper was seeded 81st.

You really should, I have the poster on my wall. I'm a big fan of this film.

Also, we've managed to have a female director make the second round, no small feat when you crunch the numbers (though I don't know if she's alone).

Finally, Faceboy stamp of approval.

Alison Maclean joins Sofia Coppola, Jennie Livingston, and Susan Hannah Hadary (co-director of King Gimp) in the second round.  Allison Anders, Mira Nair, Deborah Hoffmann, and others are still in contention.
