Prince of the City
- 7PM
Single Tickets
Almost a decade after Serpico, Sidney Lumet returned to the issue of corruption within the NYPD—this time with even greater moral and psychological complexity. Treat Williams stars as a narcotics officer who agrees to go undercover to expose shady dealings within the force—but soon finds himself forced to reckon with his own past misdeeds. In its unsparing, finely shaded exploration of power and its abuse, Prince of the City stands as one of the finest and most trenchant films ever made about the failures of policing.
Sidney Lumet: A Life, the first-ever biography of the seminal American director whose remarkable life traces a line through American entertainment history, will be available on December 10th, 2019.
Intro by professor and author Maura Spiegel (Sidney Lumet: A Life)
