BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD
(USA, 2007. THINKFilm. 117 min.)
Screenplay by Kelly Masterson
Produced by 10 executive producers and 7 producers. Directed by Sidney Lumet
The last movie in the storied career of Sidney Lumet (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Network) powerfully fuses film noir with Eugene O'Neill. A desperate man (Philip Seymour Hoffman) cows his weak-willed brother (Ethan Hawke) into robbing their parents' jewelry store. The tragic consequences unleash decades of family demons. The intricately structured script brings out the best in a top-drawer cast that includes Albert Finney, Marisa Tomei, and Michael Shannon. Presented digitally
3:20, 8:20
VICTORIA
(Germany, 2015. MonkeyBoy/Radical Media/Adopt Films. 138 min.)
Story by Sebastian Schipper, Olivia Neergaard-Holm, and Eike Frederik Schulz
Produced by Christiane Dressler and nine others. Directed by Sebastian Schipper
NOIR CITY brings down the curtain for 2017's festival with an audacious thriller filmed on the streets of Berlin in a single epic take. Spanish immigrant Victoria (Laia Costa, in an extraordinary performance) is only looking for a good time when she falls in with four young Germans in the wee hours. Little does she suspect she is about to be dragged into a drug-fueled bank robbery orchestrated by an unforgiving gangster. Armed only with a digital camera and a twelve-page script, director Schipper, camera operator Sturla Brandth Grovlen, and a driven cast give the audience a night they will never forget. Presented digitally
