The Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser

A compassionate, traumatic masterpiece, every frame amazing. Few films could live up to such a billing – this surpasses it:

Detour (1945)

Piano-player Al hitch-hikes from NY to LA in search of his girlfriend Sue, only to be detoured by fate along the way. A tale of double manslaughter, extortion, mistaken identity and the uncontrollability of one's destiny...

Du Rififi Chez Les Hommes

Opening our season of French Film Noir. Rififi is a true classic lauded by critics and directors alike and credited as archetypal of the 'heist gone wrong' movie. Mixing the pace and economy of great American Noirs with European framing and choreography of action. A truly seminal crime film.

Steam Of Life

Quai Des Orfevres

A traditional procedural noir provides our first example of the work of Clouzot a director already emerging as a leader in the genre. A classic tale of jealousy and murder set in the Paris underworld and shot through with his characteristic understanding of the dark side of human nature.

Set against the backdrop of an alternative reality UK writhing in its death throes, this independently produced British feature film sees our sadistic gimp suited anti-hero The Bad Samaritan face his greatest threat yet: a victim who fights back.
