At The Times Center, 242 West 41st Street, Manhattan.

Sidney Lumet’s new film Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, a dark family comedy and crime thriller, is the latest triumph in a fifty-year career that will be celebrated in this evening of conversation and clips from such great films as Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, 12 Angry Men, and Network. Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman, the co-stars of Before the Devil…, will participate in the discussion, which will also include remarks by surprise guests.
