Film Talk: Global Neo-Noir
January 17, 2024
Dark alleyways. Seedy nightclubs. Double-crossing. Let’s venture into the shadow world of neo-noir. This time, however, we are going global. Join us for another choose-your-own adventure Film Talk with John Trafton. In this film talk, the audience guides our journey around the world for an exciting twist on a classic Film Talk.
We’ll plunge into the neon-lit world of Asian noir with films like Fallen Angels and Burning. You’ll drive at top speed through the streets of Latin America with films from Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. We’ll feel the chill of Scandinavian noir with Insomnia and the Pusher trilogy. Where else will we go? Canada, Italy, Nigeria, New Zealand, India, Taiwan, or perhaps…North Dakota. Join us January 17 for a journey into global neo-noir.
