NOIR CITY returns to Phoenixville’s historical Colonial Theatre, November 15-17. Join FNF prez Eddie Muller for a three-day extravaganza featuring 10 films with the theme “Darkness Has No Borders”. This year’s program is tailored to satisfy folks who love noir that’s full of the colorful vernacular slang so essential to American and British noir—as well as adventurous viewers intrigued by a familiar story–a crime committed for passion or profit—playing out in cultures with different values, mores, and styles.

The festival opens Friday night with a salute to pulp writer Cornell Woolrich, the new FNF-funded restoration of the 1952 Argentine film No abras nunca esa puerta (Never Open That Door) followed by the FNF preservation print of Si muero antes de despertar (If I Should Die Before I Wake – 1952 Argentina) - the last part of a Cornell Woolrich trilogy originally planned for Never Open that Door but released as a stand-alone feature. Hollywood’s big screen adaptation of Woolrich’s Street of Chance (1952) finishes the evening. UCLA Film & Television Archive performed the restoration and preservation.

The Saturday matinee screenings comprise two prison break films, Black Tuesday (1954) and Jacques Becker’s Le trou (The Hole). The evening screenings feature two existential classics, the U.K. production The Bridge (1957) and Japan’s Zero no shoten (1961). Sunday’s program begins with two heist films, John Huston’s The Asphalt Jungle (1944) and Symphonie pour un massacre (1963). The festival closes with two L. A. set noirs Murder by Contract (1958) and Italy’s Smog (1962).

Schedule, singe feature tickets ($20), and double feature tickets ($40) are available on the Colonial Theatre’s website.

'Le Trou' – plotting a prison break on Criterion Channel

Le Trou (France, 1960), Jacques Becker’s meticulous thriller of the elaborate escape from a Parisian prison (“the hole”), features a cast of non-actors whose etched and sculpted faces tell as much about their characters as their deliberate, restrained performances. Michel Constantine, Philippe Leroy, Raymond Meunier, and Jean Keraudy are the hardened street criminals whose long-simmering escape…

Becker had his own voice, that shined through the various genres he worked in–he also directed such classics as Goupi Mains Rouges, Casque d'or, or Touchez pas au grisbi. Truffaut used the term "politique des auteurs" about him, the term that describes how a director is not just a cog in the wheel but makes a movie his own, expressing his own themes by his directorial choices, even when he didn't write the screenplay.

Le trou is an adaptation of former convict José Giovanni's first novel, inspired by his own attempted escape from jail. Many of Giovanni's novels were turned into movies. He later wrote original screenplays and directed movies.

SUBLIME CINEMA #419 - LE TROU

‘The Hole’, an underrated French noir and escape picture; director Jacques Brecker died suddenly after the film was completed. He was lesser known than many of his compatriots, but just as admired - Renoir was a champion after starting as his assistant, and Truffaut lauded his movies as elegant challenges to vulgarity.
