One of my favourite things about #Noirvember is that it gives me the occasion to discover many new-to-me films during November. I indeed take to occasion to watch some noirs that I have never seen before and, therefore, expand my horizons. Of course, I’m free to watch films noirs all year, but, somehow, it feels […]
I’m quite excited to post my first article for #Noirvember 2020! I’ve decided to kick things off with an essay that I originally wrote for a class on film noir I attended during the last year of my bachelor degree in film studies. The work consisted of analysing the style of film noir director Robert […]
After taking a two-weeks break from writing about Carry On films, I’m back with Carry On #21: Carry On Henry (Gerald Thomas, 1971), which parodies the life of the notorious king of England, Henry VIII. Well, a “break” is not the proper expression since, so far, I loved reviewing the various films from the series. But […]
Hello, dear Film Noir addicts (or not)! We’re now half-way through #Noirvember and, so far, I have only published one blog post for the occasion that you can read here. The other day on Letterboxd I made a list of all the films noirs I had seen so far and came to realize it was […]
Hello dear readers! A few years ago, I wrote a text for university on the different representations of women in the film noir movement. I thought it would be fun to translate the text (because it was originally written in French) and share it here for #Noirvember! I hope you’ll enjoy it! Warning: Because this […]
Visually, John M. Stahl’s Leave Her to Heaven (1945) might be one of the most colourful films noir you’ll ever see in your life, but its narrative line is probably among the darkest ones of the movement. This film taking place with beautiful natural landscapes, instead of notorious neighborhoods of big cities like Los Angeles […]
Mid-April has been a total blast for me as I’ve attended the TCM Classic Film Festival for the first time! This was on my bucket list for a long time but, since I’m usually at school when the event happens, it has never been really possible for me to go before. However, as I’ve explained […]
For today’s #Noirvember blog post, I thought it would be interesting to discuss a book instead of a film. Writings on the subject can be quite fascinating since there is a lot to talk about in connexion to this cinematic movement. Films noir contain both relevant narrative and aesthetic elements. It’s no wonder why I […]
I’ve decided this year to invest myself more into the #Noirvember movement which was created by Marya E. Gates. For example, I’ll try to watch as many new noirs as possible. So far, since the beginning of the month, I’ve watched Sorry, Wrong Number, Too Late for Tears, and The Killing. I was not disappointed by […]
