Turn the Key Softly (Lee, 1953): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 6.15pm
This 35mm screening, introduced by Professor Melanie Williams, is part of the excellent British Post-War Cinema season at BFI. Details here. The film is also being shown on May 14th.
BFI introduction:
This neorealist-influenced story of three women, who are released from
jail and into the cold indifference of London, is vividly captured by
Geoffrey Unsworth’s stunning cinematography. This film alone attests to
Lee’s underrated place in cinema, showcasing his sensitive, occasionally
sensual approach, continental flair and remarkably assured pacing.
Here (and above) is the opening.
