The Hats of Nordic Noir (GIRL WITH HYACINTHS, 1950) @criterionchannl.bsky.social

I’ve been neglecting noir (“noir-glecting”) this winter. That’s gonna change real soon. Getting back in the spirit with a rewatch of this semi-charming swing/miss from 1947

This movie goes hard. Deceptively quiet and low-key but there’s lots of dark shit under the surface. And that ending—a real twist i somehow did not see coming (in criterion’s “Nordic Noir” collection this month)

I didn't wanna be the big history nerd who ruins everyone's fun, but there was something about the armour that was bugging me.

"I am Spartacus" except everyone is admitting to felony sexual assault of a minor

One thing I noticed when reading Salem's Lot this summer is that e-reader backlighting, for me, is not compatible with horror. I need an aged, yellowed paperback with a ratty cover and the smell of decay. Cursed objects are important.

I generally love noir interiors but sometimes it’s like, did anyone think this through? (THE BROTHERS RICO, 1957) #Noirvember #NoirLamps 💡

“Sorry I’m so irritable, Ben. It’s just … I ordered a *regular*-sized lamp, Ben, and they sent me this fuckin’ Etruscan monument…” 💡 (NEW YORK CONFIDENTIAL, 1955) #NoirLamps

Me when the waiter tries to take my plate too soon:

Ranked! 1. IN A LONELY PLACE 2. CROSSFIRE 3. DEADLINE AT DAWN 4. THE BLUE GARDENIA 5. FRAMED 6. BLACK ANGEL 7. BLACKOUT 8. GUILTY BYSTANDER (the only truly bad one)

I have now seen all the movies in this set. If only I could remember them…

Had my Moviegoing students do a 2-minute drawing of their favorite movie yesterday. I did mine on the chalkboard. No one could identify it, how is that possible?! it’s so good 😂
