Karel Reisz: A Tribute to His Life and Work
April 7, 2003
The Department of Film and Media, in association with Karel Reisz’s family
and friends, pays tribute to the distinguished director, who died
in November of 2002. Although Reisz was born in Czechoslovakia, his
films were mostly made in Great Britain and the United States. Among
his best-known works are Morgan! (1966), Isadora (1968), and The
French Lieutenant’s Woman (1981). The evening will include
a screening of a restored print of Reisz’s first
feature, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960). Hosted
by playwright John Guare, and presented with Reisz’s family and friends in attendance.
Organized by Charles Silver, Associate Curator,
