Film By Numbers

It is episode 12 and we have named in 12 Angry Men. Primarily we are going to discuss chamber pieces – films that take place by and large in just one location.

The film that gives us our title was directed by Sidney Lumet in 1957 and tells the story of a jury sent out to deliberate the verdict of a seemingly open and shut murder case. They have to return a unanimous decision and whilst 11 jurors are convinced of the defendants guilt, juror number 8 (Henry Fonda) is not so sure and feels they men should discuss the case further.

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of ‘Film by Numbers’ from Outward Film Network.

This episode is number ten and we have called this ‘The Ten Commandments’ after in may respects three things – the Cecil B Demille 1923 silent film, the re-make also by DeMille from 1956 which famously starred Charlton Heston as Moses and of course the actual ten commandments from the old testament and Torah. So we will be discussing religion in cinema.

Let’s talk about sex

This episode is number nine and we have called this ‘Nine Songs’ after the Michael Winterbottom film

from 2004.

Known for its explicit sex scenes in which the actors Kieran O’Brien and Margo Stilley were actually having sex, it was a censorship landmark so we’re going to be looking back at sex in cinema, from the Hays code to erotic thrillers to sex comedies and all the way through to where we are now.

We also have a guest host! We chat with intimacy coordinator Haley Muraleedharan about her role and thoughts on sex in film.

This episode is number seven and the theme is 007: James Bond. At the time of recording, this episode also coincides with the 60 th anniversary year of the Bond films, as well as the conclusion of Daniel Craig’s stint as the iconic super spy. As we wait to find out who the next Bond will be, we’ll be discussing the extraordinary longevity of this franchise, the source material of Ian Fleming’s novels and how they have been translated into cinema, the politics of Bond, the different actors and accompanying eras portraying the world’s most famous secret agent, and all the gadgets, girls and villains while not forgetting the legendary Bond themes.
