The new movie The Old Man and The Gun features two stars who have been fixtures of American cinema since the 1960s and 1970s, Robert Redford and Sissy Spacek. The film will also draw attention to its young director, David Lowery. With a style that stresses emotional intimacy and poetic realism, Lowery’s work expresses a distinctive new voice, and a humanism that runs counter to the computer-enhanced spectacle of much recent cinema. This series offers the opportunity to catch up on the work of one of the most exciting directors to emerge in the past decade.
