I don’t usually do this but i thought i would write a very brief eulogy for Sidney Lumet who passed away today at the age of 86.
Lumet was one of my favorite directors and his movies were always a source of inspiration for me. Like many other American directors who did some of their best work in the 1970′s, he made brilliant, well-crafted and intelligent auteur films and he had the ability to draw remarkable performances from his actors.
Among the many interesting films that he directed, i consider the following seven to be some of the best American films ever made: 12 Angry Men (1957), Fail-Safe (1964), Serpico (1973), Dog Day Afternoon (1975), Network (1976), Prince of the City (1981), Before the Devil Knows you are Dead (2007).
Hollywood just lost a legend.
