Twilight and treachery: the postwar European film noir
2008-02-04 12:42:00 To coincide with the BFI release of Bertolucci’s The Conformist (Il Conformista, 1970), BFI Southbank will be screening a selection of titles surrounding the concept of European film noir throughout March, including Jules Dassin’s Night and the City (1950) and the rarely seen The Lost One (Der Verleone, 1951), starring Peter Lorre in a story about a doctor manipulated by the Nazis.  The BFI will also be addressing the question of “What exactly is film noir?” The press release for the season states that the term was first used in 1946 by French critics, familiar with crime novels published under the moniker of Série Noire. However, the term is probably more often associated with a certain kind of Hollywood film, which probably began with The Maltese Falcon (1941) and grew in prominance throughout the 1940s.

Delicatessen (1991)
2007-08-13 19:34:00 This movie is directed by Jean-Pierre Jeonet, same guy who directed “Le Fabuleux destin d’Amelie Poulain” (aka “Amelie” in US release), which was so big in Europe and which I love so much. So I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that Netflix had added Delicatessen to my “Recommended Movies” list. Apart from director, these ...
Indiana Jones As Film Noir
2007-05-31 04:16:00 A clip from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, converted to grayscale and filtered with deep tenebrist contrasts, to resemble a true 1930s era film noir. It’s almost completely convincing. Had they released the film in this form, it would have improved it considerably.

Hiromi Nagasaku. Perfect Film Noir beauty.
2006-08-09 19:00:14 Hiromi Nagasaku (Nagasaku Hiromi, born 14 October 1970) is an actress, and was the member of the J-pop group Ribbon. She was born in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan and debuted as a solo singer on 4 August 1993. Hiromi has a kind of intense beauty not found in most other Japanese women, who traditionally veer towards the sultry or cute. I love her in the black and white frames.. it really brings out her unique style and charisma. Tags: ????, asian babes, Hiromi Nagasaku, ribbon, J-Pop
