12 Angry Men (1957)
A historically relevant film in cinema on human bias.
Summary:
This is a truly important film with social relevance and is the reason why Criterion Collection should exist. It is so truthful and honest, characterizing mankind and society with such relevant accuracy even in todayโs time. 12 members of a jury deliberate a case, quarreling in a single room for the entire film and itโs absolutely engaging. Story is king and there will always be a place for dialogue in cinema. I donโt know if itโs entertaining enough for today, but itโs certainly important enough to recommend.
