Programme 02 · Noir, Uncut
D.O.A.
Directed by Rudolph Maté
An accountant is told he has been poisoned and has days to find out why. The clock is the antagonist, and the city is the alibi.
Screening note
A film with a built-in countdown. Its famous opening—a man walking into a police station to report his own murder—still lands like a slap.
