🎞️Nightmare Alley (Guillermo del Toro, 2021)

🎞️Don't look up (Adam McKay, 2021)

Unha sátira afiada sobre a nova era da desinformación, tan cómica como desesperanzadora. ☄️

#FilmNoir attracted some of cinema’s greatest filmmakers, including Orson Welles, Howard Hawks, Billy Wilder and John Huston, as well as others who came to specialise in the genre, Edward Dmytryk, Robert Siodmak, Fritz Lang, Otto Preminger and Don Siegel.

#1. Double Indemnity (Billy Wilder, 1944) "Based on James M. Cain's novel, script Wilder and Raymond Chandler."

"It was a hot afternoon, I can still remember the smell of honeysuckle all along the street. How could I have known that murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle?"
#15. Laura (also 1944) "Laura is found murdered. The detective in charge of the case is entranced by her portrait, above her fireplace."

"You better watch out McPherson, you'll end up in a psychiatric ward. I don't think they ever had a patient who fell in love with a corpse."

Para preparar o próximo episodio estivemos vendo Double Indemnity (1944) de Billy Wilder. #Cinema negro, negrísimo.
Imos tentar convencervos de que lle botedes un ollo. Aí van as nosas razóns:
👇 Image
- Porque Billy Wilder tamén lle dá con xeito ó thriller e ó drama.

- Pola atmósfera opresiva e escura ambientada na soleada California. ImageImageImageImage
- Porque se pode facer film noir sen gángsters e coa cousa máis aburrida (en principio) do mundo: as pólizas de seguros

- Polo xeito que ten Walter Neff de acender mistos

Some alternative posters for Cry Danger (1951), along with what they used to call a lobby card - there are a few others on the film’s IMDb page too. #Noirvember #CryDanger ImageImageImageImage
Contrast the American posters with these two much racier French and Italian posters, both of which foreground Fleming. #Noirvember ImageImage
This was great fun. Powell plays Rocky (it doesn’t suit him), an ex-con who gets out of jail after serving 5 years for a robbery he didn’t commit and goes after the gangster who framed him. Fleming plays the wife of Powell’s supposed partner in the robbery, who’s still in jail. Image

#NowWatching William A. Wellman's BEGGARS OF LIFE (1928) w/ Wallace Beery, Louise Brooks, Richard Arlen

Music composed and performed by The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra

on @KLStudioClassic Blu-ray
#NowWatching William A. Wellman's BEGGARS OF LIFE (1928)

Again. This time w/ @thomas_gladysz commentary.

on @KLStudioClassic Blu-ray.
Wallace Beery shows up 30 minutes into BEGGARS OF LIFE (1928), a film in which he's given top billing.

His king-of-the-hobos character is so matter of fact in his menace to Louse Brooks' character, it's almost startling.
