Plot
An analysis of director Sidney Lumet's work (12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon, Before The Devil Knows You're Dead) in his own words, based on a five-day interview recorded shortly before his death.
Sinekatalog’s take
A documentary drawn from a final long interview in which a veteran director reflects on his career and craft. Candid and modest, it's a gift for lovers of American cinema's golden years.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
