For the 3rd cycle in The Night and Day Film Noir series curated by Brandon Ryan, Central Cinema is pleased to present a one time screening of Billy Wilder’s “Double Indemnity”, and Stephen Frears’s “The Grifters”
In this series, the focus will be to examine classic film noir movies spanning to the neo noir genre of modern day films. Film noir, a classic film style of the 1940s and 50s, is noted for its dark themes, stark camera angles and high-contrast lighting. Comprising many of Hollywood’s finest films, film noir tells realistic stories about crime, mystery, femme fatales and moral conflict. While modern day neo noir utilizes elements of classic film noir, but with updated themes, content, style, visual elements or media that were absent or unacceptable to the viewing public in the 40s and 50s.
Night and Day Classic and Modern Film Noir Series. Two world’s consisting of darkness, ambiguity, and moral corruption. The seedy underbelly of the American Dream. Follow our cynical and obsessive anti-heroes throughout the decades celebrating the classic and modern film noir elements characterized by the work of directors, Howards Hawks, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, John Huston, Christopher Nolan, Rian Johnson, Brian De Palma, The Coen Brothers, and many more.
DOUBLE INDEMNITY:
A calculating wife (Barbara Stanwyck) encourages her wealthy husband to sign a double indemnity policy proposed by smitten insurance agent Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray). As the would-be lovers plot the unsuspecting husband’s murder, they are pursued by a suspicious claims manager (Edward G. Robinson). It’s a race against time to get away with the perfect crime in this heart-racing Academy Award-nominated masterpiece directed by Billy Wilder

Central Cinema is the ultimate date spot. A hidden gem right around the corner. Food and atmosphere are incredible and well priced. Why do I want tickets? So I can ask someone out on a date of course…giving me another excuse to go! :D
I want to enter this great drawing bc I love Brandon Ryan and Central Cinema!
It’s noir. That is enough on these lonely streets.
I need tickets for a Film Noir night so I have another excuse to wear my sunglasses indoors!
Double Indemnity is truly one of the great film noir classics and just plain great movies. With lines like “That’s a honey of an anklet. ” what’s not to love?
Brandon Ryan is bright and shiny local color, the irony being he loves his dark and dreary film noir and that love is contagious. I cannot recommend this film series enough.
We need to continue our very serious discussion about what’s not working in our relationshi—- my tongue is in your mouth again isn’t it?
I still need a ticket. Some friends are going but we still need a few tickets.
I will be in town, so it would be perfect if I could just go up the hill and see a wonderful movie.
