Detour (1945)

Chance events trap a hitch-hiker Al Roberts into a tightening net of trouble.

Wonderful Film Noir classic that creates a hopeless fate almost too extreme to believe, but that's just as well part of its message.

Halliwell*: "A minor cult movie with as much doomladen dialogue and film noir angles as could be shovelled into a Poverty Row 'B' at the time. On the whole, less than meets the eye."

Maltin***: "Now-legendary B movie, filmed in less than a week, is the qintessence of film noir...(Savage, in an unforgettable performance), Ulmer makes best of his meagre budget."

Mémoires pour Simone (1986)

TV documentary as a tribute to Simone Signoret.

Sensitive and insightful homage, more essay than docuemtary, typical for Chris Marker's style of approach.

Odd Man Out (1947)

On the set: Carol Reed and James Mason

Les diaboliques (1955)

The wife of a cruel headmaster and his mistress conspire to kill him, but after the murder is committed, his body disappears, and strange events begin to plague the two women.

A classic horror mystery melodrama that stills manages to thrill and shock; masterfully executed in all departments.

Halliwell***: "Highly influential, suspenseful and scary thriller with a much-copied twist typical of its authors. Slow to start and shabby-looking as befits its grubby school setting, it gathers momentum with the murder and turns the screw with fine professionalism."

Maltin***1/2: "Classic ciller builds slowly, surely to final quarter hour that will drive you right up the wall. A must."

Bonjour tristesse (1958)

On the set: Jean Seberg
