Out of the Past
1947 | 97 min. | B&W | 35mm
Directed by: Jacques Tourneur
Cast: Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, and Kirk Douglas
The image of Robert Mitchum on the poster of this film, lurking in the darkness with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, has become the visual representation of everything film noir represents. Femme fatales and foreboding shadows abound in this story of a man who can’t seem to escape his past.
Dark City
1998 | 100 min. | Color | 35mm
Directed by: Alex Proyas
Cast: Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly, and William Hurt
A man wakes up in an unfamiliar hotel bathtub with no memory and realizes someone might be framing him for murder. In an effort to solve this mystery, he uncovers things that go beyond reality and into the fantastic. Ebert was impressed by Proyas’ vision, saying the film was “so original and exciting, it stirred my imagination like Metropolis and 2001: A Space Odyssey.”
