Network
A dark and prophetic satire on the ruthless television industry and its relentless pursuit of ratings. The film paints a vivid picture of 1970s America, weary from the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, where one man, “mad as hell,” becomes the voice of a frustrated nation. Featuring masterful performances by Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch.

Sidney Lumet
Sidney Lumet began his career in theatre before transitioning to film with his acclaimed screen adaptation of 12 Angry Men, considered one of the greatest court dramas in cinema history. While much of Lumet's work focused on social and psychological dramas, often set in New York, he also addressed political themes, as seen in his Cold War film Fail Safe and Network, a scathing look at the inhumanity of large corporations.
