12 Angry Men

“Hey what’s your name?”“Davis” How does a storyteller like Lumet flesh out twelve individual characters in a single room in black and white? Well this film. A masterpiece in cinema! A masterpiece in visual storytelling. I don’t think I’ve seen mastery of acting, cinematography and directing in a film since I first watched the social network. It is the grounded emotional story of Waves with the intensity of Whiplash and the dialogue of the social network. I love this film.
