Film noir

Geen film dit keer, maar een boek: British Film-Noir Guide (Hardcover)



Quote: "This work presents 369 British films produced between 1937 and 1964 that embody many of the same filmic qualities as those "black films" made in the United States during the classic film Noir era. This reference work makes a case for the inclusion of the British films in the Film-Noir canon, which is still considered by some to be an exclusively American inventory. In the book's main section, the following information is presented for each film: a quote from the film; the title and release date; a rating based on the five-star system; the production company, director, cinematographer, screenwriter, and main performers; and a plot synopsis with author commentary. Appendices categorize films by rating, release date, director and cinematographer and also provide a noir and non-noir breakdown of the 47 films presented on the Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre, a 1960s British television series that was also shown in the United States."

Releasedatum: 9 maart 2008 (Bron: http://tinyurl.com/2ghbx9)

Voor wie deze Noir nog niet gezien heeft, binnenkort op de BBC2: BORN TO KILL. (aka Deadlier Than the Male )
Met de charismatische Claire Trevor (KEY LARGO, MURDER MY SWEET, STACHECOACH).

edit
Criterion brengt dit jaar de neo-Noir Blast of Silence (1961) uit.

IMDB raadt 5 andere films aan als je deze goed vond:

Murphy's Law
Death Wish 3
The Killers
Killer
King of New York

Dat zijn toch een aantal klassiekers en 2 cultfilms van Charles Bronson. Dit wordt vast een aanschaf.

De komende twee weken veel Film-Noirs op TCM, schedule:
(All times PST...)

-Vandaag:

5PM: High Wall (1947) Psychiatry! Dir: Curtis Bernhardt

7PM: The Cobweb (1955) Dir: Vincente Minelli. Gloria Grahame, Bacall, Widmark. A posh asylum!


-Wed the 12th:

8AM: Man in the Vault (1956) IIRC this was one of James Ellroy's picks when he got to sit with Bob Osbourne and choose a whole night of flicks.

9:30AM Union Station (1950) Dir: Rudolf Mate. LA noir!

11AM: Walk A Crooked Mile (1948) I've never seen this, but I like the title, and it has Dennis O'Keefe in it and is set around Scotland Yard, so your call.

3PM: Underworld USA (1961) Sam Fuller!, REVENGE film.

1:15AM: Sweet Smell of Success (1957) 'Nuff said.

-Friday the 14th:

3AM: The Amazing Transparent Man (1960) More sci-fi than noir, but b&w and 57 mins, and - best of all - directed by Edgar G. Ulmer

-Sat the 15th:

5:30AM: Berlin Express (1948) Dir: Jacques Tourneur. Robert Ryan. On-location in bombed-out post-WW2 Europe.


-Sunday the 16th:

1:15 and 4PM: Key Largo/Rear Window (TCM is playing Hitchcock films throughout the month and I'm not including them here except this one, as it's derived from Woolrich.)

7:30PM: The Blue Gardenia (1953) Dir: Fritz Lang.

-Monday the 17th:

5PM: They Live By Night (1949) Dir: Nicholas Ray

-Tuesday 18th:

3:30PM: Lady From Shanghai (1948) Dir: Orson Welles

-Wed 19th:

4AM: The Strange Woman (1946) Dir: Edgar Ulmer. Hedy Lamarr! Period piece. Looks great.


-22 Saturday:

5:15AM Crossfire (1947) Dir: Ed. Dmytryk. Roberts: Ryan, Young, Mitchum.

-1e paasdag:

6:30PM: Mildred Pierce (1945)

-2e paasdag:

5AM - 7AM - 9AM: The Desperate Hours (1955), The Strange Woman (again)(1946), Brute Force (1947).

5PM: The Dark Past (1948) Dir: Rudolf Mate. More half-baked Hollywood Freudianism.

8PM: Blind Alley (1939) Dir: Charles Vidor. In Arthur Lyons's wonderful little book, Death On The Cheap: The Lost B Movies of Film Noir, check out this passage:

"Although many critics cite RKO's Stranger On The Third Floor (1940) as first true film noir, 1939 was actually the year that inaugurated the film noir with release of three prototypical films: Let Us Live, Rio, and Blind Alley. Of the three, Columbia's Blind Alley is by far the best, a little masterpiece about a killer who is afraid he is going insane. The movie was creatively directed by the emigre director Charles Vidor and extremely well acted by its cast, which included Chester Morris, Ann Dvorak, and Ralph Bellamy. Blind Alley showed audiences how good a B movie could be; movie historian Don Miller cites the film as a primary example of the fact that Bs were starting to achieve respectability by 1939." - p.35

Lucien Ballard is the DP on Blind Alley, and this film was remade as The Dark Past, which plays earlier on the same day. I'm very much looking forward to seeing this flick, and I don't give a crap about the claims of the "first" noir or what have ya, frankly.


-Wed the 26th:

3AM: The Seventh Victim (1943) Dir: Mark Robson. Not a noir per se, but it looks quite noirish and is part of the great Val Lewton cycle. It's got quite a cult following, in case you haven't checked it out yet.

-Thur 27th:

7PM: The Spiral Staircase (1946) Dir: Rbt Siodmak. I consider this "period" noir. Great lighting. Gothic, creepy family in a big house, lightning storm, bad Freudianisms.

-Friday the 28th:

6:15AM: Strange Love of Martha Ivers (needs no comment!)
11:45AM: The Naked Kiss (Sam Fuller!)

**10e Film-Noir Festival in Egyptian Theatre te Los Angeles: 3-20 april 2008

Hier het complete programma met geweldige Noir toppers (waaronder BOOMERANG! -OOP): Link!

# Persbericht, quote:

"What is it about the dark world view -- rainy nights, unfamiliar and unfriendly streets, shady grifters and duplicitous dames – that archetypal Film-Noir milieu that fascinates us so? The plight of an Everyman (or woman) sucked into a whirlpool of dismal circumstance beyond his control – these scenarios hold us spellbound. Are we watching as voyeurs, glad to see someone else with worse luck than our own? Or are we hoping to find a key to dealing with our own existential plight that may not be as violent or as dramatic but nevertheless just as traumatizing? All one has to do is listen to the news to see very plainly that, hey, it’s a noir world, baby!

Today, with unparalleled global access through the Internet, we witness it on a worldwide scale. To help you chart your path through a perilously dark universe, we’ve assembled another grand gathering of noir gems, starring an array of iconic noir role models, including Humphrey Bogart, Lizabeth Scott, Burt Lancaster, Peter Lorre, Barbara Stanwyck, Steve Cochran, Ida Lupino, Edward G. Robinson, Dana Andrews, Richard Widmark and more!

A few of these classics are encore presentations (DESERT FURY, WICKED WOMAN, STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR, TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY, HIGHWAY 301).
But the majority are masterpieces we’ve never shown before, including popular favorites DEAD RECKONING, SORRY WRONG NUMBER, BOOMERANG, NORA PRENTISS and NIGHT AND THE CITY.
We’ll also be screening such ultra-rare titles as the Dick Powell double shot of CORNERED and TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, the James Mason bill of Carol Reed’s THE MAN BETWEEN and ONE WAY STREET, plus HELL’S FIVE HOURS, CRY OF THE HUNTED, LURE OF THE SWAMP, THE RED HOUSE, Richard Fleischer’s THE CLAY PIGEON and Don Siegel’s COUNT THE HOURS.

There’ll be brand new 35mm prints, as well, of such rarities as NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES, THE NIGHT HOLDS TERROR, THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK, THE STORY OF MOLLY X and WOMAN IN HIDING, many of these struck at the enthusiastic urging of The Film Noir Foundation.
And the vast majority? Yes, still not on DVD! Last but not least, Noir City bon vivant and co-programmer Eddie Muller *) will be presenting the L.A. Premiere of his directorial debut, the stunning, suspenseful short film The Grand Inquisitor, with 90-year-old star (and noir icon) Marsha Hunt (RAW DEAL) in attendance! Starting the first week, hosted by Alan K. Rode and Chris D with Eddie Muller joining us for the second and third weekends.
Don’t miss this series, one of our best yet!"
************************************************
*) Eddie Muller, een begrip bij de Film-Noir kenners...

chic 97 mins.

SUCH A LOVELY BEACH (UNE SI JOLIE PETIT PLAGE) (1949) FRENCH This
quirky film is really noir at its noirest. The landscape has rarely
been so depressing than in this Yves Allégret's masterwork; like
Poe's "Usher house" it seems to influence the characters and rub off
on the hero. Gerard Philipe is as a sort of Christ-figure walking
through the muddy streets of this third-rate resort town with a dark
past he's trying to hide. 91 mins.

QUAY OF THE GOLDSMITHS (QUAI DES ORFEURES) (1949) FRENCH Directed by

THE TEMPTRESS (LES DEUX VERITA) (1951) FRENCH A man (Michel Auclair)
is about to go on trail for killing his mistress. That is the "first
truth". The "second truth" is that the woman (Anna Maria Ferrero)
died after being run over by a streetcar. The film plays with the
truth and is very reminiscent of a cross between RASHOMON and ULMER'S
film noir classic DETOUR 105mins.

GAS-OIL (1951) FRENCH Trucker Jean Gabin has stolen loot from a man
he ran over, unfortunately the dead man just ripped off Parisian
gangster who are out to get their money back. Jeanne Moreau also
stars in this rural French Hi-Jack Flick 92 mins.

MAGNET OF DOOM (L'AINE DES FERCHAUX) (1963) FRENCH Jean-Pierre
Melville directs Charles Vanel (who was so brilliant in The Wages of
Fear) and Jean-Paul Belmondo in this tale of an crooked old banker

nourish travelogue from New York City to the Deep South. In Color,
102 mins.

stars in this English-dubbed version of an interesting Italian crime
film with a different way of following the results of a big robbery.
Instead of following the process by which the police try to track
down the robbers, it instead concentrates on the ways that the crime
affects the lives of the thieves and their families.
74 mins.

DRUNKEN ANGEL (YOIDORE TENSHI) (1948) JAPAN Akira Kurosawa directs
this dark feature of small-time gangster being treated by an
alcoholic doctor in post-war Japan. The two enjoy an uneasy
friendship until the gangster's former boss is released from prison
and confronts him in a battle to the death. 98 mins.

Ik zie dat Casablanca er ook bij staat (logisch) maar... tot nu toe bijna niemand tegengekomen die casablanca in zijn top lijst heeft van beste film noirs. Terwijl die film zéér goed gevondne wordt door veel mensen..

Staat bij mij op 1, maar deze oorlogsfilm hoort niet in een Film-Noir lijst thuis....

ECHT WEL! Je hebt hem zelf in je lijst neergezet! Kijk maar bij film noir lijst en dan begin letter C en dan zoeken en dan zie je hem staan en dan staat er: Casablanca en daarna (1942)!

FILM NOIR FILMS NEWSLETTER #19 – Complete List Of Noirs Follows

Leuk zo'n lijst, maar je kunt alles wel noir gaan noemen!

En Casablanca is heel veel, maar geen film-noir.
Een Liefdesdrama dat speelt tijdens de oorlog, met hooguit noir elementen.

[InfamousGeorge]

Leuk dat je de hele lijst quote en zo de pagina verneukt

En ik dacht nog wel een constructieve bijdrage aan dit topic te leveren met deze interessante lijst. Raar dat ze daar in 't buitenland wel positief op reageren. Inhoudelijk/de "Noirs" dus en/of 't creëeren van een PDF-link o.i.d..

De lijst is zeker interesssant, maar veel te ruim.
Er staan veel titels in die hooguit raakvlakken hebben met het noir-genre.

De films van Hitchcock horen er zowiezo niet in thuis, Hitchcock was zijn
eigen genre.
Hij heeft veel invloed gehad op noir en een aantal van zijn films hebben
dan ook noir elementen maar "echte" noir heeft hij nooit gemaakt.

Ik vind het geen kwaad kunnen om noir heel specifiek af te bakenen door bepaalde
"eisen" te stellen:

-Zwart/wit vind ik ontontbeerlijk.
Ook in kleur kun je noir elementen filmen, maar voor mij is noir in zwart/wit.
-Periode 1941 (The Maltese Falcon) tot 1957 (A Touch Of Evil).
Films met noir elementen van later datum noem ik neo-noir.
-Beeldverhouding 1.33:1 heeft bij noir mijn voorkeur, hooguit 1.78:1 zoals bij
"Touch of evil".
En zeker geen CinemaScope (2.35:1).
-Opvallende camera standpunten, veel van onder en van boven.
Camerawerk zwaar beinvloed door duits expressionisme.
Veel schaduwen, venetian blinds, trappenhuizen.
-(Prive) detective of andere persoon op zoek naar de waarheid.
-Sidekick in de vorm van een toegeweide scretaresse, assistent(e).
-Femme fatale, die de mannen in de film het hoofd op hol brengt.
-Veel nachtscenes op kantoortjes, in steegjes en louche nachtclubs en diners.
-De film moet zich vooral afspelen in de stad en niet op het platteland.
Liefst ook in de regen.
-Moeilijk te doorgronden verhaal/plot dat pas enigszins duidelijk wordt
na meerdere kijkbeurten.

Mijn ultieme film-noir: The Big Sleep.


20th Century Fox hanteert deze richtlijnen duidelijk niet voor haar Noir serie,
veel films in die serie hebben daar weinig of niets te zoeken.

Mischien is het bekrompen om zulke strenge regels te hantere, maar ik vind
het wel zo duidelijk.

De lijst is goed, nog bedankt daarvoor. Erg uitgebreid. Met mijn bericht doelde ik op degene die je lijst in een quote zette :wink:

[kit carson]

... ff een schop, R-1 release in oktober:



* Bron.

[Herman ter Lingen]

Edit: aankondigingen die al in het Fox Film Noir Topic stonden verwijderd

[kit carson]

releasedatum 2 september 2008

DVDPacific heeft ze 20 aug. j.l. gepost. Als het ff meezit heb ik ze voor 't weekend thuis.
DVDBeaver heeft beide DVD's getest trouwens.

Fox heeft beide titels niet meer doorgenummerd.

(Fox Film-Noir thread op dit forum by the way: http://tinyurl.com/6mushn )

[Herman ter Lingen]

edit: verwijderd ivm foutieve berichtgeving mijnerzijds.

[Herman ter Lingen]

Kit: kennelijk zat er iets totaal fout in het (of mijn) systeem, want pas bij plaatsing van een nieuw bericht in het Fox topic, krijg ik ineens alle informatie. (betreffend bericht weer verwijderd).

Mijn vorige berichten blijken dus overbodig.


Tot genoegen zag ik nu ook dat Boomerang opnieuw is uitgebracht.



Edit: mij blijkt nu dat bij het aanklikken van de link naar het Fox Noir Topic, mijn persoonlijke instelling om het laatste bericht als eerste geprojecteerd te krijgen, in dat geval niet functioneert. Weer wat geleerd.

[Bogart-Fan]

Fox heeft beide titels niet meer doorgenummerd.

Is bekend of Boomerang nog wel doorgenummerd is?

Ja, zie review op DVDBeaver.

Quote van DVDtalk:
So I received all 3 movies today. The good news is that Boomerang has the same design as all the other noir titles including the spine number. The bad news is that the other 2 titles have nothing in common besides the film noir banner on the front. The back and the spine are completely different from the other titles. It's a little disappointing at least from a displaying perspective. I don't understand why they chose to change things around this time.

Op zich wel een beetje jammer dat de vormgeving is gewijzigd. Het lijkt erop dat de officiele serie daarmee aan zijn eind is gekomen.

Heb je bezwaar in voortzetting Fox Noir's in 't Fox-Noir Topic?

[kit carson]

Binnenkort (R-1):





Hopelijk restored.
De R-2 van Affair in Trinidad is dat niet. Baal wel van de prijsdaling van bijna € 6 binnen een jaar.

[zetmoon]

Hoe komen ze in hemelsnaam aan de term "Martini movies"?????????

Wat ze al niet verzinnen om DVD's opnieuw uit te brengen.
