 | BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD Theatrical Trailer Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet directs this absorbing suspense thriller about a family facing the worst enemy of all -- itself. Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Andy, an overextended broker who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke), into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store owners are Andy and Hank's actual mom and pop and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage lands right at their doorstep. Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei plays Hoffman's trophy wife, who is having a clandestine affair with Hawke, and the stellar cast also includes Albert Finney as the family patriarch who pursues justice at all costs, completely unaware that the culprits he is hunting are his own sons. A classy, classic heist-gone-wrong drama in the tradition of "The Killing" and Lumet's own "The Anderson Tapes," BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOW YOU'RE DEAD is smart enough to know that we often have the most to fear from those who are near and dear. |
 | Rachel Getting Married Rachel Getting Married Directors Statement i was involved in documentary work when sidney lumet suggested that i read his daughter jenny's screenplay about family and other things. i loved jenny's flagrant disregard for the rules of formula, her lack of concern for making her characters likable in the conventional sense, and for what i considered to be her bold approach to truth, pain and humor. i saw that a film could be made from this script that could mirror my reaction to reading it - - - that to our own surprise, at a certain point as the story unfolds, despite the script's refusal to try to manipulate the reader's emotions, we become part of this problematic family and care very much about its members. i had wanted to work with anne hathaway since watching her in a crowd at a screening five years earlier, already being an admirer of her appearances so far in the movies i'd seen. i was able to pump up the nerve to ask debra winger to be in the picture because we had met several times at a film center close to both our homes. bill irwin is a dear friend and a neighbor, and one of my favorite actors of all time. rosemarie DeWitt was suggested by our casting directors, and all of us immediately wanted her very badly to play rachel. declan quinn and i felt that the film should try to look like "the most beautiful home movie ever made", as though every scene was captured on digital by a friend with a camera, or even by the ghost of a character whose death haunts this ... |

 | Reenactment #27: 12 Angry Men The 27th of my Reenactment Series. I just watched this movie recently, and remembered how much I loved it. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. 12 Angry Men, directed in 1957 by Sidney Lumet, is about 12 jurors who must decide the fate of the defendant. 98% of the movie takes place within the jury room. It's a hot day, and they all want to get out of there, so 11 of them vote guilty. One man says "not guilty," and the rest of the movie consists of him convincing the rest of the jurors that there is too much reasonable doubt to convict the defendant. The scene I did was the very end, where there's one guy left who thinks he's guilty. Played magnificently by Lee J. Cobb, I thought this scene was amazing the first time I saw it. It's a portrayal of great acting, and although I didn't make it very complicated (ie didn't play anyone else, etc.), this video was a lot of fun to do. More videos on the way. Stay tuned. |

 | 12 Angry Men (1957) 12 Angry Men is a 1957 American drama film adapted from a teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose. Directed by Sidney Lumet, the film tells the story of a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt. In the United States (both then and now), the verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous one way or the other. The film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set: with the exception of the film's opening, which begins outside on the steps of the courthouse and ends with the jury's final instructions before retiring, a brief final scene on the courthouse steps and two short scenes in an adjoining washroom, the entire movie takes place in the jury room. The total time spent outside of the jury room is three minutes out of the full 96 minutes of the movie. 12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus-building, and the difficulties encountered in the process, among a group of men whose range of personalities adds intensity and conflict. Apart from two of the jurors swapping names while leaving the courthouse, no names are used in the film: the defendant is referred to as "the boy" and the witnesses as the "old man" and "the lady across the street". In 2007, 12 Angry Men was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
