Noir City Boston 2023
Fri, Jun 9 – Sun, Jun 11, 2023
All 75th Anniversaries!
Special introductions at most shows!
We are thrilled to welcome our friends from the Film Noir Foundation back to The Brattle for the 2023 edition of Noir City: Boston! This program features films that have been rescued—sometimes quite literally—and restored thanks to the efforts of the Film Noir Foundation. Filled with the usual tough guys and deadly dames, these films don’t disappoint. All of them are rarities, and some have never been screened at The Brattle. Descriptions courtesy of the Film Noir Foundation.
