Frost/Nixon (DVD)

Frost/Nixon (2008) starring Frank Langella, Michael Sheen, Sam Rockwell, Toby Jones, Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt. British talk show host David Frost (Sheen) scored a series of TV interviews with former president Richard Nixon (Langella) in 1977. This movie tells the story of how the interviews were arranged, the preparations by both sides, the conduct of the interviews, the strategy, and the adversarial nature of the conversations. It's a surprisingly compelling film about a series of interviews. Directed by Ron Howard. Grade: A-
