Steven Spielberg once said “the only thing better than seeing movies is
reading about them.”
We agree. This month:

“The first time I saw a movie directed by
Sydney Pollack was during my initial fascination with the
wonderful actress Faye Dunaway. The film was Three Days
of the Condor, starring Pollack’s most frequent
collaborator Robert Redford. I couldn’t quite articulate it
at the time, but I knew enough to understand that there was
something remarkably unique about Pollack’s film. Later I
would realize that his entire body of work had that
singularity to it as well, reflecting the confluence of
cinematic expression that had a strong influence on the
legendary director.” Writer David Sayre reflects on the film
career of Sydney Pollack. |
