Dog Day Afternoon (Lumet, 1975): Prince Charles Cinema, 8.45pm


This 35mm presentation is part of the Unicorn Nights strand at the Prince Charles Cinema. You can find full details of the season here.

Chicago Reader review:
One of Sidney Lumet's best jobs of directing (1975) and one of Al Pacino's best performances (as a bisexual bank robber) come together in a populist thriller with lots of New York juice. Its details are stronger than its structure—the film loses some of its energy before the end—but it's an astonishing fusion of suspense and character, powered by superior ensemble acting. With John Cazale, Charles Durning, Sully Boyar, James Broderick, Chris Sarandon, and Carol Kane.
Jonathan Rosenbaum


Here (and above) is the trailer.
