White Wall Cinema: NETWORK
November 20 @ 7:20 pm – 10:30 pm
Nominated for 10 Oscars with a searingly sensational Oscar winning screenplay named by The Writer’s Guild of America as one of the 10 best ever written, Paddy Chayefsky’s story of a TV news anchor who one day appears to have a nervous breakdown live on air whilst going on a fanatical rant, and the subsequent fall-out, is an all encompassing razor sharp satire about America and its media.
The New York Times labelled it “literate, darkly funny and breathtakingly prescient… the greatest screenplay of the 20th century’. Impeccably acted by Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway, and Beatrice Straight (who all won Oscars for their roles) joined by William Holden and Robert Duvall, directed by one of the all time greats in Sidney Lumet (12 Angry Men, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon), Network is the benchmark by which all other media satires are measured.
