No pun intended and please hold your horses. I do hope and believe that we can agree that Friedkin is a great director too. I am not comparing the two - I am not saying they are on the same level or that you should think that. You may hold more regard for one over the other. I am not here to tell you either way - or anything else. What I do want to achieve with my summary headline: that both directors are good in what they do. And I think that much we can agree with - I also need a pun or two for every review I do .. It's a personal thing and all that.
Like those two trying to make and do great stories. And Lang really is a in a good mood - which is a testament to Friedkin who is able to make conversation with him. And all that not long before he passed away ... so really a good thing they were able to capture this meeting and give us an insight into the mind of Lang. His views, his expertise and how he chose ... not just what he did but how he did what he did in movies. If you are interested in more than just watching movies ... this is for you.
