FILM NOIR: BRINGING DARKNESS TO LIGHT, DE GARY LEVA


Film Noir burrows into the mind; it’s disorienting, intriguing and enthralling. Noir brings us into a gritty underworld of lush morbidity, providing intimate peeks at its tough, scheming dames, mischievous misfits and flawed men - all caught in the wicked web of a twisted fate.

Bringing Darkness to Light is the definitive Film Noir documentary, exploring the roots of the genre, its expressions and meanings, and its influence on world cinema. Lavishly illustrated with clips from great Noir classics, the film explores the genre through interviews with filmmakers, actors, and writers such as Sydney Pollack, Paul Schrader, Christopher Nolan, Michael Madsen, Gordon Willis, William Goldman and James Ellroy.
