Description
Two versions of the same feature film made in 1946 and 1964. Hemingway's short story provided an absurdist framework for a Citizen Kane-like reconstruction of a man's life. At the centre of a corrupt world of crime is a particularly duplicitous femme fatale. The insurance agent's search for the reason why a man allows himself to be killed, provides the convoluted flashback structure. Like the search for 'Rosebud' in Kane, the inquiry seems increasingly...

Description
Stanley Kubrick's account of an ambitious racetrack robbery is one of Hollywood's tautest, twistiest noirs. Aided by a radically time-shuffling narrative, razor-sharp dialogue from pulp novelist Jim Thompson, and a phenomenal cast of character actors, including Sterling Hayden, Coleen Gray, Timothy Carey, and Elisha Cook Jr., The Killing is both a jaunty thriller and a cold-blooded punch to the gut. With its precise tracking shots and gratifying sense...
