This semester’s films will feature film noir from around the world and from a wide period ranging from 1931 to 2006. Besides telling thrilling stories of crime, the underworld, and femmes fatales, these films examine questions of morality, modernity, the battle of the sexes, and the fine line between right and wrong.
