Killer’s Kiss (Kubrick, 1955): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 6pm


This 35mm screening (the film has a digital presentation on April 5th) is part of the Stanley Kubrick season at BFI Southbank. You can find full details here.

Chicago Reader review:
Stanley Kubrick's second feature (1955, 67 min.) is one of only two with a New York setting, and unlike Eyes Wide Shut, it was shot entirely on location, on what looks like the lowest of low budgets. A noirish thriller with experimental trimmings that holds back most of the emotions, sensitive as well as otherwise, that threatened to make Kubrick's first feature mawkish, it views all its low-life characters from a considerable distance. Starring Frank Silvera (as a boxer), Irene Kane, and Jamie Smith.
