Paterno
SKY ATLANTIC, 9.00PM
The Penn State abuse scandal, which saw the college’s American football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky jailed for more than 40 counts of child sex abuse, is given the biopic treatment by Barry Levinson (Rain Man). The film concentrates on the team’s celebrated head coach Joe Paterno (Al Pacino dialling down the scenery chewing to good effect)), and has one main question: how much did Paterno, who was sacked following Sandusky’s conviction and died a week later, know? Levinson’s clever film suggests a person can be complicit even if they are unaware of the extent of the crimes committed.
