Neo-Noir Nights
(R) USA – 1 hr 52 min
1973 · d. Robert Altman
Starring Elliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden
At once saluting and satirizing classic noir, Robert Altman’s oddball detective story lifts iconic hardboiled gumshoe Philip Marlowe from the shadowy ‘40s and drops him into sunbaked ‘70s L.A., where he must crack a case involving a murdered woman, a sadistic gangster, and a Hemingway-esque novelist.
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.
