Cinema Fearité Presents ‘Killer’s Kiss’ – An Early Noir From Future Master Stanley Kubrick

April 13, 2017 by James Jay Edwards

There’s little doubt that Stanley Kubrick is one of the most influential directors in modern cinema.  He revolutionized the science fiction genre with 2001: A Space Odyssey, the dystopian nightmare with A Clockwork Orange, the horror movie with The Shining, and the war film with Full Metal Jacket.  He even invented the political satire with […]

Touch Of Noir: ‘Night And The City’, A Unique Hybrid Of Film Noir’s Cinematic Roots

October 6, 2013 by Katherine Springer

A title can make a film, and Night and the City is the perfect title for a film noir.
