  • Transcript Sidney Lumet
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH SIDNEY LUMET Sidney Lumet’s critically acclaimed 2007 film Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, a dark family comedy and crime drama, was the latest triumph in a remarkable career as a film director that began 50 years earlier with 12 Angry Men and includes such classics as Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, and Network. This tribute evening included remarks by the three stars of Before the Devil Knows Your Dead, Ethan Hawke, Marissa Tomei, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and a lively conversation with Lumet about his many collaborations with great actors and his approach to filmmaking. A Pinewood Dialogue with Sidney Lumet shooting, “I feel that there’s another film crew on moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz the other side of town with the same script and a (October 25, 2007): different cast, and we’re trying to beat them.” (Laughter) “You know, trying to wrap the movie DAVID SCHWARTZ: (Applause) Thank you, and ahead of them. It’s like a race.” I remember welcome, everybody. Sidney Lumet, as I think all saying that “you know if this movie works, then of you know, has received a number of salutes I’m going to have to rethink my whole idea of and awards over the years that could be process, because I can not imagine that this will considered lifetime achievement awards—which work!” (Laughter) I’ve never seen such a might sometimes imply that they’re at the end of deliberate—I’m going to steal your words, Phil, their career. But that’s certainly far from the case, but—a focus of energy, and use of energy.

  • 12 Homens Em Fúria - 1957
    12 homens em fúria - 1957 Título original: 12 angry men Realizador: Sidney Lumet Argumento: Reginald Rose Actores principais: Martin Balsam; John Fiedler; Lee J. Cobb; E.G. Marshall; Jack Klugman; Edward Binns; Jack Warden; Henry Fonda; Joseph Sweeney; Ed Begley; George Voskovec; Robert Webber Música: Kenyon Hopkins Produtores: Henry Fonda; Reginald Rose; George Justin. Resumo Realizado em 1957, ou seja há 57 anos, 12 homens em fúria é um clássico dos filmes de tribunal. Toda a acção decorre no tribunal mais precisamente dentro da sala de jurados de um Tribunal de N.Y. A grande maioria dos críticos considera o filme uma brilhante dissertação sobre o conceito de “culpa para além de qualquer dúvida razoável” do direito criminal americano e um tratado sobre a arte de obter consensos. Onze jurados começam por votar a favor da condenação do jovem suposto portoriquenho mas o jurado n.° 8 (a quiet, thoughtful, gentle man. A man who sees all sides of every question ….a man of strength tempered with compassion) não está convencido e vai expondo as suas dúvidas de forma sistemática até que os outros jurados admitem rever o voto anterior. 12 homens em fúria é o primeiro filme de Sidney Lumet (antes trabalhara para séries televisivas) e baseia-se numa peça para televisão de Reginald Rose que decidiu teatralizar a sua anterior experiência precisamente como membro de um júri. O filme tem a particularidade de ser produzido por Reginald Rose e pelo actor Henry Fonda (jurado n° 8) – que então declarou nunca mais vir a produzir qualquer filme. A crítica The principle of reasonable doubt, the belief that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty, is one of the most enlightened elements of our Constitution, although many Americans have had difficulty in accepting it.
