REVIVAL HOUSE: THE RECKLESS KIND (film noir series)

The plume of cigarette smoke. The swell of music during an illicit embrace. Tortured souls. Rebellious hearts. Nights of mystery, played out in a moody landscape of black and white. This series showcases the dramatic visual genre of early American Film Noir. We are invited into the lives of the morally ambiguous and deeply existential as they search for love, justice, or perhaps just a sense of self… all in great style.

    “...it is one of the great film noirs, a black-and-white symphony that exactly reproduces Chandler's ability, on the page, to find a tone of voice that keeps its distance, and yet is wry and humorous and cares."-Roger Ebert

    “Significantly, (the film) takes place mostly at night - and the darkness is used metaphorically to express that malignant evil spreads from character to character."-Danny Peary, Guide For the Film Fanatic
