Night Falls on Manhattan: Die a Clam or live long enough to be a Rock

from Clams Kino · host Chris Techentin and Jacob Yopak

Our journey starts in earnest with 1996's Night Falls on Manhattan, a film we are sure is very near and dear to everyone's hearts. Here we start learning about Lumet's particular image of New York City; populated by scheming politicians, cantankerous Ashkenazis, and epic libs.Major points of discussion include: the inevitability of corruption, the state of exception, and whether or not this movie is a clam or a rock. Next up: The Deadly Affair (1967)
