Personal Quote:

My films are political, so when they get rated on anything you have to take into account that a lot of my attackers are hard-line Republicans. See more »

Trademark:

[Lurie pan] In a standard two-person conversation scene, instead of cutting between separate of shots of the actors speaking to each other, Lurie will often pan the camera from side-to-side to give it a one-take feel. See more »
