NOIR CITY: CHICAGO returns to the Music Box Theatre August 25 - 31, 2017, with an epically suspenseful series of criminal capers!
"The Big Knockover" celebrates the history of the heist film from black-and-white Hollywood classics such as THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950) and KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL (1952), to 1974's THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE, to the stunning contemporary thriller from Argentina EL AURA (2005). This year's focus on hold-ups, heists, and schemes gone awry provides the perfect opportunity to venture beyond the 1940s and '50s to show how noir has expanded and transformed over the decades.
Film Noir Foundation president Eddie Muller will introduce films during opening weekend, August 25 - 27, and noted film writer and FNF board member Alan K. Rode will take over hosting duties August 28 - 31. NOIR CITY: CHICAGO's opening night will be a 20th Anniversary screening of Curtis Hanson's L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, featuring author James Ellroy, who will introduce the 1997 film onstage with Eddie Muller.
