All throughout November, the Quad Cinema invites you to step into a world of smoky backrooms, venetian blinds, and blurred motives. A world filled with private eyes, femme fatales and terrifying gangsters. From the postwar pessimism embodied by nihilistic detectives Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum in The Big Sleep and Out of the Past, to the sunlit disillusionment of Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye and the suburban nightmare of David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. So join us, as we trace the dark evolution of Noir through decades of obsession, corruption, and desire. Here, the hard-boiled meets the hallucinatory, every shadow hides a secret, and every goodbye might just be the last.
