Lumet on Lumet (2011)
*** (out of 4)
Several interviews with director Sidney Lumet are edited together for him to tell his story from his early acting days up to his masterpiece 12 ANGRY MEN. There are about four different interviews edited together and we get to hear him discuss his acting days, how he got into directing, the importance of working on television and then getting the chance to work on 12 ANGRY MEN. This was produced by The Criterion Collection and it was a nice featurette to allow Lumet to discuss the production. He shares his thoughts on working with actors, the proper lenses to use on a film like this and why the film didn't catch on at the box office.
