A maestro of cinematic realism and tension, a filmmaker of uncompromising creative vision, and a pioneering voice in the New Hollywood movement of the '70s, William Friedkin is universally renowned as one of America’s all-time greatest directors. Across an eclectic career that spanned over seven decades, Friedkin oversaw such gems as 1985’s neo-noir classic To Live and Die in L.A., 2006’s criminally underrated psychological horror Bug, and 2011’s atmospheric black comedy crime movie Killer Joe. However, there is no denying that Friedkin’s greatest work came during the '70s, which marked both an era of inspired brilliance from the filmmaker and a high point of his commercial success in the industry.
