Viewing Notes

I completely forgot I had seen this before until the lights went down and the opening scene came up and then it hit me! It was great to see this in 35mm in a theater with great sound that really highlighted the excellent jazz soundtrack and the second person narration.

Gavin said “this is the best film noir I’ve seen so far!”
