In an interview, the American actor Al Pacino reviewed his vast filmography which includes more than 55 films.
Al Pacino is one of the most relevant actors of New Hollywood, who later continued his career focusing on great dramas and police films. With a vast career that includes more than 55 films in his filmography, the actor reviewed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter which are his favorite titles in which he has acted.
Looking For Richard
This film is directed by Pacino and is also among the cast, which he shares with Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, Winona Ryder, and Penelope Allen. It is a dramatic documentary that includes scenes from the play Richard III by William Shakespeare. Regarding this film, little known in his career, the actor expressed: "I made a film, which I directed, which is Looking For Richard, which did quite well compared to other films that I made that no one saw. The film was released and "It went pretty well for him, I think." The truth is that the documentary film had a great cast and was part of the competitions at the Sundance and Cannes festivals in 1996.
The Local Stigma
Continuing with Pacino's choices, the actor selected a 1990 short film in which he served as an actor and also a producer. As he expressed in the interview, this film "is not for everyone." The truth is that it was never released in theaters, but was shown at the MoMA and was later part of The Al Pacino Box Set in 2007. It is a short film directed by David F. Wheeler and based on the play of the same name by Heathcote Williams that tells the story of two English friends who spend their time talking about Winston Churchill and greyhound breeding.
Serpico
Although his previous choices do not include the most famous and remembered titles of his career, the actor made room for the New Hollywood classic Serpico. The film directed by Sidney Lumet showed Pacino's arrival to the Hollywood mainstream after having been part of The Godfather, in this case playing an honest police officer who fights against corruption within the New York police. "I think it was a very good movie," said the actor about the film that earned him an Oscar nomination and the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Drama Film.
