Art meets the underworld at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which is featuring French crime thrillers this weekend through June 20. Série Noire depicts 1950s/60s/70s French society and its trench-coat, fedora-wearing denizens: gangsters, gunslingers, gamblers, rogue cops, bank robbers, jewel thieves, thugs, bar flies, tricksters dangerous dames...
See the mean streets through the eyes of Jacques Becker, René Clement, Alain Corneau, Jules Dassin, Louis Malle, Jean-Pierre Melville, Claude Sautet, Bertrand Tavernier, and François Truffaut. This dark celebration includes films based on work by Jim Thompson, David Goodis and August Le Betron (who did time!), so grab your moll, leave the gun, and go see the series.
