A Thesis Statement: Sidney Lumet and Auteur Theory (and clams)

Welcome to Clams Kino! In this episode we, Jacob and Chris, introduce our exhaustive survey into the films of Sidney Lumet. We hope to find that because of Sidney Lumet's ambiguous status as an auteur we will illuminate something about our collective relationship between art and the artist.After this introduction, we share our Golden Rules of discussion that we will attempt to have fidelity to when talking about Lumet's movies. Chris talks a bit too much about Eddington and Jacob talks a bit too much about Westerns.Letters from Siberia, Chris Marker: https://youtu.be/tN1XWKULjfQ?si=dtaKKd-B1-dsw-xT
