In a never-before-seen interview filmed a few years before his death, Sidney Lumet (1924-2011) guides us through his life and his work - the powerfully dramatic and wildly entertaining movies (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, 12 Angry Men, Network) that make up the canon of one of the most socially conscious directors in the history of cinema. With candor, humor and grace, he reveals what matters to him as an artist and as a human being.

One of the greatest directors who ever graced the 7th art.
If Network didn’t prove it, what else could?

His only good film was "Equus".
Network is such brilliant social observation in film and it's very gratifying to hear Lumet's comment. Everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to think about what comes after liberation. Turns out folks just want to have fun no matter what.
And that capitalism consumes everything, including it's critiques. Squid Game is an actual game show now. Nobody gets killed but it's still exploiting desperate people for entertainment.

Lumet was such a big director handling actors.. i must say regarding what he says here, that Faye Dunaway did find a weakness to her character and Lumet did use it.. in the break-up dialogue between her and Holden, when Holden is telling her that she needs him, she briefly and softly says a “so don’t... leave me”, with a perfect reading followed by her eyes moving away and down from Holden’s face. I think that’s her true oscar moment right there...
One of the most underrated directors ever. His work was popular and took the forefront of fame but not him as a filmmaker.
Sidney Lumet absolute genius of 20th century movies
we miss you very much Mr Lumet
Some events in life can't be unseen once seen and this movie is one of them.
Has been in my top 10 all-time favorite films since I first saw it on video in the mid 80s. I rewatch it at least once a year. A film aimed at an adult's intellect, unlike the Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Comic Book crap that so-called adults lap up these days. Ned Beatty's monolouge in NETWORK is possibly my favorite scene in any movie...EVER. Find it on UA-cam and thank me later...
Diana was television incarnate she was Living Television what a brilliant movie it's perfect.
Such a shame that he did not win the best director Oscar for this film!
the scene mad as hell words are exactly 2020!!!
Masterpiece!
Great film prophetic and truthful as well as funny, Great film Great director 👏
One of my all time favorite films
Absolutely ringing true now (December 2020). Just need to change the ending,
But Faye DID get in a moment of vulnerability; when she told Max, "Then don't leave...me"
George Orwell offered "1984" as a warning that has come true. It's just the same with "Network".
1984 has not come true man
There is a reason why Network isn't shown as much on TV as much as other films. It's because it is so true to life about the world of television management. Chayefsky skewers the mercenary hypocrisy of executives brilliantly.
Sidney lumet is a powerful screenwriter himself. His masterpiece in my opinion is q and a. This film contains some of Nick nolte best work I have not seen it in years. The film also stars Tim Hutton.
I hav been trying to remember that title for so long.
Thank you for jogging my memeory.
Now the hunt is on.
@@infonut I am glad I helped you find this classic they are playing it on cable now
Genius.
Dunaway's character does have vulnerability.
She asks Schumacher not to leave her.
New Yorkkkkers stick together ❤️ 🍎
I disagree with Mr. Lumet Howard Beal does change once he gets his own show his truth becomes more and more potent until people can no longer handle it and start to turn away and the ratings plummet, this happened because he made them aware of the state they were in but would not show them how to extricate themselves from it. This movie is amazing and Paddy Chayefsky was able to predict television's absurdities long before Hard Copy, Jerry Springer etc.
Yes, of course, Howard (Peter Finch) changes. In fact, he changes TWICE. First, when Howard discovers that Communications Corporation of America (CCA), the conglomerate parent of TV network UBS, will be bought out by a larger Saudi conglomerate, he attacks the deal on-screen, urges viewers to pressure the White House to stop it, and ultimately succeeds in stopping it (at least for the time being). Howard has effectively transformed from a "cog" to a dynamic person who has altered the course of history, and if that's not change, I don't know what is. Second, Howard changed yet again when he was pursuaded by CCA chairman Arthur Jensen (Ned Beatty) to adopt and spread the "gospel of the corporate cosmology," which was, in effect, a transformation of the world into the Globalist One-World-Government concept articulated by David Rockefeller and a transformation that is being practiced to this very day. Howard thus became a new type of "cog." Although Sidnet Lumet acknowledges that Paddy Chayevsky wrote a great screenplay, I don't think he fully appreciated just how brillant and precient Paddy's screenplay actually was.
You disagree with Mr Lumet about his own move that he made?
@@NostalgiNorden well i agree with sidney lumet.. but why wouldn’t someone disagree... it’s an open film, Lumet is giving his opinion... he did do the film, that doesn’t mean he holds the absolute truth about its interpretation (in fact not even Chayefsky did, and he wrote the thing). It’s an amazing movie, thus it allows for interpretations imo
All corporate cable networks. They are evil incarnet. All they care about are great ratings. The truth no longer has relevancy. If that isn't an Orwellian narrative, I don't know what is.
Sadly he dose not talk the 2 most important speech Beale about tv lies (yes I know but he conflates the 2 speeches mad as hell and a little on tv lies but that distorts the messages) and Mr Beaty to Beale on how world is run . Imo more important than am mad as hell all that is entertaining but….
His only good film was "Equus".
I am a fan of Lumet but I think Network was one of his weakest films. The movie is nothing but a string of overacted monologues.
