Review of Network (1976) by Terry D — 29 Apr 2017
Absolutely brilliant original screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky about the inner machinations of the broadcast media and by extension the culture that is held in sway by the controlled and/or crafted exploitative spectacles that appear nightly on television screens across the land.
Gritty and tight direction from Sidney Lumet and excellent performances by the pitch-perfect ensemble cast. Still prescient and topical -- as a matter of fact, it's probably even more timely in today's 24/7 media-obsessed Internet age than it was upon its initial release in 1976.
