Sam Mendes: In Person

  • 90 mins

A versatile and ambitious master speaks about his craft.

From an illustrious early theatrical career, Sam Mendes arrived fully-formed at the top tier of filmmaking. His feature debut, the multi-Oscar®-winning American Beauty (1999), is one of only a handful of films that have instantly entered the popular lexicon. The decade since has seen Mendes affirm his skill and status with heavyweight titles Road to Perdition and Jarhead, and the recent Oscar®-nominee Revolutionary Road. Our Opening Night film Away We Go marks a stunningly successful departure into indie comedy.
