Help with a sentence
Hello, can someone explain to me the sentence in bold?
Did the characted die in the first movie and come back in the second one?
Mr. Herzog’s film is very loosely based on a 1992 movie simply called “Bad Lieutenant,” directed by Abel Ferrara and starring Harvey Keitel.
The two films feature performances that make you wonder where the character leaves off and the man playing him has taken hold, a slippage that can lead to greatness, but also to moments of such excess and even grotesque comedy that they leave you squirming.

From my reading of it, I gather that the two films had different directors. Whether or not Harvey Keitel starred in both of them is not clear. One film is "loosely based" on the other. This doesn't mean that the later version is intended as a sequel.
The bold section doesn't address any plot issues (eg., dying and coming back). It only addresses how the actors ply their craft.
