12 Angry Men Sidney Lumet
US / 1957 / 96min / Black and White
This classic film starring Henry Fonda joins the Leaving Cert
Comparative Study for 2007.Despite our familiarity with legal
dramas, this film still has the power to provoke us into thinking
about the nature of justice.Director Sidney Lumet gets behind
each
member of the jury as they debate and weigh up the evidence
available. It is the ‘hottest day of the year’ and
the claustrophobic atmosphere is heightened by the director’s
use of different lenses so that the backgrounds seem to close
in on the characters.
The belief that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty
challenges each character as they reveal their own interpretation
of right and wrong, and their potential to manipulate or clash
with others. It is not a film about solving a crime, rather
it is about sending someone to Death Row, a situation that is
still a reality in many US states

The Chorus tells the story of Clément Mathieu (Gérard
Jugnot), an unemployed music teacher who is hired as a supervisor
in a boarding school for difficult boys.The school is run by
authoritarian director Rachin, whose methods are repressive
and brutal. At first Mathieu is unable to keep the boys under
control. But life at the school improves dramatically when he
introduces the boys to the magic of singing...
