Network (1976)
10/10
"A cleansing moment of clarity"
23 March 2022
Certain films - very few I dare say, not only survive the passing of time but they grow in clarity and relevance. Network is such a film. The extraordinary Paddy Chayefsky finds a perfect partner in Sidney Lumet to translate his prophetic script into the screen. To sit through Network in 2022 is an indescribable experience that I highly recommend to all lovers of great writing, great cinema and unbelievable acting. William Holden crowning his legendary career with a performance so powerful and so moving that I shall never forget it. Peter Finch! Faye Dunaway, Beatrice Straight who's one scene gave her the Oscar, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty. A total triumph.
