Author is dead. He has no business giving interviews :twisted:
The Kid With A Bike. :clap: Very understated that the greatness might be missed by many.
Kid in this forum, qostins for you.
1) What other films of this director-writer should I be watching?
2) Did you like the way the robbery subplot ended - the fall from the tree and all that? I loved it. I think that moment made the film for me.
3) Do you have a bike?
Thank you.
Serpico
Hard to believe that such a film was made 40 years back. Vintage stuff!! My respect for Al Pacino only grows with the day. My second Lumet film after 'Before the devil knows you are dead'. Any other recos?
Ajay, I yam big Lumet fan. Another Lumet/Pacino = Dog Day Afternoon. Other Lumets appAla pesikkalAm.
But not sure you will like the total lack of background score in DDA. Anyway, its an example on how you don't need music. I am a big champion of this cause for Indian movies.
Oh ok. Then Serpico is my third Lumet film. I have watched DDA. :noteeth:
Go to imdb and check out his list. The films I have watched and loved:
12 Angry Men
The Hill (Sean Connery's best)
The Anderson Tapes (Sean Connery again)
Fail Safe (serious version of Dr. Strangelove)
The Offence (wait, this is Connery's bestest best)
Family Business (actually not bad, also with Connery and Hoffman...Dustin)
Nightfall on Manhattan (Garcia's best after GF3)
I still haven't watched Network, but that's a must. And Prince of the city.
I have seen 12 Angry Men and Network - liked them both a lot.
I even liked Murder on the Orient Express.
I have seen Dog Day Afternoon.
