Programme 02 · Noir, Uncut
Scarlet Street
Directed by Fritz Lang
A quiet cashier and amateur painter falls for a woman who is already running a con with her boyfriend. The trap is not the crime; it is the fantasy.
Screening note
Lang at his most corrosive. A film about how easily a decent life can be converted into a prop.
