DESCRIPTION:
In this new edition Frank Cunningham expands his analysis of Lumet’s earlier films and examines his most recent work, from A Stranger Among Us (1992) to Gloria (1999).. “Makes a strong case for a filmmaker whose considerable talents have too often been taken for granted. There is something pleasantly old-fashioned in Cunningham’s auteurist approach.”—Film Quarterly Since 1957 Sidney Lumet has deepened audiences’ awareness of social, ethical, and feminist issues through such distinguished films as 12 Angry Men, The Verdict, Running on Empty, and Critical Care.
