The Killing (1956)-Discussion-Come on, clown, sing us a chorus from "Pagliacci"!
Details
If you're in the metro area and looking to celebrate the new year, New York's hottest club is...THE SAD LOSERS MOVIE CLUB!
The Killing (1956) is Stanley Kubrick’s early, sweaty-palmed noir masterpiece.
This movie has everything:
• A racetrack heist planned by a guy who looks like he permanently smells of bourbon
• A femme fatale whose hobbies include lying, scheming, and ruining men
• A sharpshooter, a crooked cop, and a man whose whole personality is “I lift heavy things for crime”
• And the most chaotic suitcase moment you’ve ever seen outside a Spirit Airlines boarding gate
If you like your noirs hard-boiled, your criminals sad, and your storytelling out of order like a drunk guy doing a PowerPoint, this is the movie for you.
Come for the heist. Stay for the poodle.
See you there Losers — this week’s vibe is gloriously doomed heist energy.
The Killing (1956) is available to stream on Prime Video, Hoopla, and Tubi and is available to rent on most VOD platforms.
***Please note that we watch the film before attending the discussion and the Zoom registration link will appear on this page AFTER you RSVP to this event.***
