12 Angry Men
Dir: Sidney Lumet
USA, 1957, 96minmins, DCP
Cast: Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Martin Balsam
Ninety minutes in a stifling closed room where twelve white male jurors make decisions about the life and death of an 18-year-old slum kid. Sidney Lumet’s electrifying drama initially pits one decent man – Henry Fonda – against other citizens who see only guilt. Minute by minute, slow questions about evidence and agonizing reflections on self will change the votes, one by one. A quintessential film not only about criminal procedure, but also about democracy and debate itself.
