When we think of “Masters of Cinema”, there are few who carved their way and built such a reputation as Sidney Lumet. Spanning six decades, his immense body of work rarely missed a beat, Lumet’s method having evolved from off-Broadway productions and anthology television dramas. Much like his contemporary John Frankenheimer, Lumet was at the forefront of innovative filmmaking that paved the way for New Hollywood, remaining in a unique position of bridging the gap between the old guard and a new generation of filmmakers. He may have been considered a journeyman to some, but the potency of his work remains essential viewing… and this latest course intends to provide the perfect starting point for any newcomer to such an intimidating filmography. Films covered will include his outstanding debut 12 Angry Men, Sean Connery playing against type in The Hill and The Offence, Al Pacino’s crime classics Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon, along with the potent satire Network and overlooked Equus.
