A Midnight Clear (Gordon, 1992): ICA Cinema, 6pm
Unavailable in any format in the UK Lost Reels are bringing this critically praised movie back to cinema audiences followed by an online Q&A with writer/director Keith Gordon.Time Out review:
As the end of World War II approaches, a group of American soldiers
settle in a deserted house on the Franco-German border in order to
report on enemy movements. But their foe remains elusive, and after
making contact with these young, nervous men, the Germans prove
strangely unwilling to attack. Less war movie than psychological
thriller, writer/director Gordon's absorbing, stylised adaptation of
William Wharton's novel explores issues of faith and morality. The
performances are uniformly excellent as the film moves inexorably
towards bloody confrontation and spiritual reckoning.
