Really worth a listen. From the BBC World Service Witness History programme; #Wallander and the rise of #NordicNoir: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

#BornOnThisDay Happy Birthday to one of our favourite film directors, Michael Mann #BOTD

I can’t recommend this highly enough. Witty, beautifully written, and genuinely laugh out loud funny. John’s a brilliant writer who wields language like weaponry and here he’s armed to teeth. Take cover.

#BornOnThisDay the great #FilmNoir star and filmmaker Ida Lupino (1918-1995). #BOTD We will be continuing our celebration of her work with 'Ida Lupino Part II: Noir Filmmaker' later this year as part of #FilmNoirFest 2026. More info here: www.southwestsilents.com/film-noir-fe...

Really impressed by Joe Carnahan's THE RIP (Netflix), starring Matt Damon & Ben Affleck. It's an intense & genuinely suspenseful Film Noir about a police raid on a drug traffickers cash store (the eponymous "Rip") told almost entirely in real time. Lots of clever plot twists, so avoid spoilers!

Sad to hear the passing of the wonderful Catherine O'Hara (1954-2026). Two pics from two of her #NeoNoir related films, Scorsese's After Hours (1985) and Dick Tracy (1990). Of course tho, she will always be Kevin's mom to us all!💔 #RIP #HomeAlone #FilmNoir

Farewell to author James Sallis. As a tribute, here's a review I wrote of his 2008 novel, Salt River, originally posted a little while back. bloodymurder.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/s...

Trench coats at the ready for #BritNoir A Woman of Mystery (1958) on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social today at 12:25PM. Produced by The Danzigers Brothers, directed by Ernest Morris and starring Dermot Walsh and Hazel Court. There are plenty of clichés in this (even for 58) but it’s still fun!

Friday morning…

We're very sad to hear the passing of American writer James Sallis (1944-2026) one of the great crime writers. Plenty of great titles, but of course, there is always one which always sticks out... #FIlmNoir #NeoNoir #RIP
