Films of 1975
By the mid 70's it is difficult to distinguish any particular school of filmmaking: the film art has fragmented in a multitude of strands. Directors develop each in their corners their own styles and production technics. The years prior to the cultural globalisation of the 90's are remarkable by their diversity. As Sands Films Studio celebrates its 50th year in business, the Cinema Club looks at four iconic but hugely different films made in 1975.
Dog Day Afternoon
Based on the true story of would-be Brooklyn bank robbers John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturile. Sonny and Sal attempt a bank heist which quickly turns sour and escalates into a hostage situation and stand-off with the police. As Sonny's motives for the robbery are slowly revealed and things become more complicated, the heist turns into a media circus.
