Neo-Noir Nights
(R) USA – 1 hr 53 min
1981 · d. Lawrence Kasdan
Starring Kathleen Turner, William Hurt, Richard Crenna, Mickey Rourke
It’s hot the night Ned Racine (William Hurt) meets Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner). She’s married…unhappily. A steamy affair soon gives way to a plan—knock off her hubby, take his dough for themselves. This Double Indemnity riff brings the noir spirit into the ‘80s, where the Hays Code is but a memory.
This screening is presented in conjunction with the course American Neo-Noir: Reimagining the Classic Noir Archetypes, taught by Paul Wright, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
