Ah, and our 2007 SIFF experience comes to an end. We saw a most satisfying film, The Damned Don't Cry at the newly opened SIFF Theater. Not a bad little theater but I have become hideously spoiled by the seats at Lincoln Square- I don't even bat an eye when I fork over $10 for tickets. Anything to not move if a tall person sits in front of me...
Using her tenacity, wits and sexual prowess, a dissatisfied housewife climbs the social ladder one man at a time. This fantastic film noir, a thinly veiled version of the rags-to-riches story of gangsters’ moll Virginia Hill, is perhaps an even truer depiction of the real Joan Crawford than Mommie Dearest.
I have come to the conclusion that I really like film noir. Before the show started we got some history of the movie and a plug for the Noir City festival that will be held in July. They will be having $10 double features that I for one, will be checking out. If I have a chance, Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir sounds like interesting reading.
