A,bit talkative, but a good noir.
Looking forward to Kurasowa next week.

Lucky Seven! #NoirvemberChallenge Day 7 Favorite Film Noir Dream Sequence. Los Tallos Amargos (The Bitter Stems) has got a weird and gorgeous dream sequence, plus it's one of my all time favorites period. If you haven't seen this one yet, get off the damn internet and go watch it right now.

Coolest Character in Film Noir for me is Zbigniew Cybulski in Ashes and Diamonds.
No wonder he was called the Polish James Dean!
#Noirvember "Why do you always wear those dark glasses?"
"A souvenir of unrequited love for my homeland."

Film Noir I would show someone who's never seen one is Double Indemnity.
The quotes, the femme fatale that is Phyllis, the whole thing is a perfect introduction. #Noirvember

Film Noir ahead of its time for me is City of Fear, where the dangers of nuclear radiation hits hard when an escaped convict steals what he thinks is heroin but is actually enough radioactive material to kill all of Los Angeles. #Noirvember

A film about cultural integration and assimilation set in the seedy side of LA's Little Tokyo district with James Shigata leading the hunt for a stripper's killer, from 1959 it's Samuel Fuller's The Crimson Kimono

Film Noir that made me a fan was Double Indemnity.

Barbara is soon good as Phyllis.

And she made me want to wear ankle bracelets.
