Panic in the Streets (1950, d. Elia Kazan) *****
A doctor (noir regular Richard Widmark) races to contain an outbreak of pneumonic plague in the criminal underbelly of New Orleans. Acting and camerawork feel bracingly modern 73 years on. This one floored me. #noirvember

Took a break from Noirvember to catch Killers of the Flower Moon. I have way too many thoughts about it to fit in this character count, so I'll just say it's a masterpiece, easily one of the best of the year, and Marty don't miss, ok? Marty don't miss.

Green For Danger (1946, d. Sidney Gilliat) ****1/2
A twisty murder mystery set at a rural English hospital reeling from German V-1 air raids. Anchored by Gilliat's atmospheric direction and a devilishly fun turn from Alastair Sim as Inspector Cockrill. #noirvember

Time Without Pity (1957, d. Joseph Losey) ****1/2
An almost unbearably tense potboiler that condemns the barbarity of the death penalty and casts the moral failings of Britain's wartime generation in a cold, cruel light. Michael Redgrave is remarkable. #noirvember

Here is everything I watched this 2023 Halloween season, in chronological order. Favorite first watches this year were Doctor X, The Haunting (1963), and Jigoku.

I'm quite pleasantly surprised to report that the new Teenage Fanclub album might just be their best in over a decade. I thought they were toast after Gerry's departure, but they've really locked in this new 5-piece lineup. There's a lovely triumphant quality to these elegiac, autumnal songs.

FIRST WATCH: Barbie is the 3rd film by the star of Mary Bronstein's Yeast. Guys, I could nitpick if I wanted. Is the middle rushed and choppy? Yup. Does every subplot pay off? Nah. But it's genuinely weird, hilarious, ambitious, and poignant for an IP blockbuster. And Ryan Gosling deserves an Oscar.

FIRST WATCH: Here's a true devastator, even at just 25 minutes, Nagisa Oshima's Diary of Yunbogi. I prefer his more narrative-based 70s work, but this portrait of Korean street youths vividly shows Oshima's artistic bedrocks: explicitly political, daringly experimental, deeply humanist.

FIRST WATCH: Finally saw the film with the girlie hero everyone's been talking about, Robert Bresson's The Trial of Joan of Arc. It takes some stones to play in the realm of Dreyer and his 1928 masterpiece on the subject, but this is a Bobby B joint thru and thru. Those closeups! That formalism!
