November, Noirvember, tomato, tomahto. The Criterion Channel continue their quest to find every known subgenre with “Blackout Noir,” which places Terence Fisher’s semi-eponymous 1954 picture alongside In a Lonely Place, The Blue Gardenia, and some lesser-knowns. Not included therein are The Criminal Code and Scarface, which instead appear in an expansive Howard Hawks retrospective—don’t sleep on Barbary Coast! Meanwhile, a Trent Reznor series highlights his work on Natural Born Killers, Lost Highway, The Social Network, and Bones and All.
The month’s retrospectives get most expansive, though, with a Werner Herzog program that mimics any glance over his filmography, i.e. Klaus Kinski films we all know mingling with stuff that is far beyond one’s knowledge of the career. (A Jafar Panahi program is a little more easy to localize, while still appreciated.) Adam Piron has programmed a series of Indigenous-made non-fiction cinema, while a look at pioneering African American filmmakers concentrates between 1915 and 1946. “Family Reunions” is the one time Charles Burnett, Arnaud Desplechin, and Thomas Vinterberg will be programmed with Zach Braff; Hannah and Her Sisters is for all of us still high off Woody Allen’s Club Random appearance.
Criterion Editions have a major month—Dogfight, Cairo Station, Compensation, You Can Count on Me, Scarface, Born in Flames, Read My Lips, and The Beat That My Heart Skipped all arriving—while restorations of Pink Narcissus, The Sealed Soil, and The Black and the Green make debuts. Finally, Josh Brolin is subject of the latest Adventures in Moviegoing.
