Winnipeg mon amour

Jun 13, 2008
Winnipeg mon amour est un hommage doux-amer à la ville natale de Guy Maddin au Canada. Ville des superlatifs, selon le réalisateur : la plus froide au monde, le plus petit parc du monde, la ville des somnambules, des magnétiseurs et des séances de spiritisme, une ville somnolente, habitée par les esprits. C'est ainsi que la décrit à la première personne le narrateur, en la regardant défiler derrière la fenêtre d'un train. Plongeant son regard dans le paysage délavé, il repense à son enfance, à l'histoire et à la topographie de sa ville...

Film noir, which enjoyed particular success in the 1930s and 1940s, is probably the most profound genre of classic Hollywood cinema. Eckhart Schmidt tries to show the background and developments and speaks, among others, with directors such as Richard Fleischer and Robert Wise as well as with "femme fatale" actresses. Filmmakers of the following generations explain how the style and themes of noir continue to shape cinema today.

Pier 23

May 11, 1951
Pier 23 was one of three hour-long mysteries produced by Lippert Productions for both TV and theatrical release. Each of the three films was evenly divided into two half-hour "episodes," and each starred Hugh Beaumont as San Francisco-based amateur sleuth Dennis O'Brien. In Pier 23, O'Brien first tackles the case of a wrestler who has died of a suspicious heart attack after refusing to lose a match. He then agrees to help a priest talk an escaped criminal into returning to prison. The film's two-part structure leads to repetition and predictability, but it's fun to watch TV's "Ward Cleaver" making like Philip Marlowe.

The Unwritten Code

Oct 26, 1944
The Unwritten Code is an offbeat, better-than-average Columbia wartime "B" picture. Though Ann Savage and Tom Neal are top-billed, the central character is supporting-actor Roland Varno. He plays a Nazi spy who sneaks into the U.S., hoping to release hundreds of German prisoners. He fails, but not until plenty of bullets have been spent. The most interesting aspect of The Unwritten Code is the casting of Savage and Neal as the "good" characters: in 1945, these two cult favorites would play the decidedly unsavory protagonists of the film noir classic Detour.

Preparing to get a booth at the show, Miller is told by J.
