L.A. Noir: Heat (30th Anniversary)

L.A. Noir: Shadows in Paradise

Presented by Greg Olson Productions

Two men in L.A. A criminal, a cop. Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. Fire and ice, coming to a boil. Cool and controlled, De Niro and his pals (Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore) pull off big robberies with military precision. Steamed-up, swaggering Pacino uses intuition and massive manpower to track them, with limited success. Master stylist Michael Mann (TV’s "Miami Vice") gives this monumental crime saga irresistible forward momentum, but everything stops so two great American actors, De Niro and Pacino, can appear together for the first time and have coffee. The outlaw and the lawman are both doing what they’re best at, and it’s their nature to keep on with it. But for a moment out of time they talk about the fullness and emptiness of their lives, what they gain and lose. This isn’t a truce, there will be machine gun fire on downtown streets, people lying dead. They’ll meet again at night, out in a field at the airport. Planes glide overhead like souls, some coming in, some leaving on the soft, sultry air. 30th Anniversary Screening.
