PARC AT MIDNIGHT: STAFF PICKS
Selected by Gabriela, customer service saff member:
“I think THE THIRD MAN represents the atmosphere that prevailed in a post-war period and the feelings that people felt the need to project on the screen really well. [...] I think it’s a movie that stands the test of time and deserves to be rediscovered today.”
Synopsis: ??Pulp novelist Holly Martins travels to shadowy, mystifying post-war Vienna to meet his old school friend Harry Lime. But he will find himself investigating his mysterious and sudden death instead.
“There's something magical about The Third Man. The director, Carol Reed, weaves together various cinematic techniques to create an almost entirely unique experience, one that at times, almost feels like a showreel for what can be accomplished in the medium of film. It’s truly a testament to cinema, and with every frame, Reed makes a remarkably compelling case for why the artform should continue to exist. (...) It’s an atmosphere that I don’t think has ever been captured again to this extent, and perhaps the biggest reason why the movie has gone on to be one the most critically acclaimed noirs of all time. Simply put, no other film in its genre looks or feels quite like it.” (LOUD AND CLEAR)
