PICK OF THE MONTH
All The President’s Men
JOSEPH KOSINSKI: “All The President’s Men, when Robert Redford is on the phone and he’s talking to Dustin Hoffman, and they’re starting to slowly crack the case wide open. I read how they ran the phone conversation in real time, with the other actor on the other side of the phone, so it was all practical. There’s an immediacy to it that doesn’t feel staged. It’s just electric.”
