Edgar G. Ulmer
USA, 1944, 70, bw

Paris, 19th century. The city shudders at the crimes of a painter who assassinates his models. One of the jewels of the great Edgar Ulmer, filmed in a week for the small production company PRC. It is John Carradine’s favorite role out of the 344 of his career.

An unlucky musician hitchhikes from New York to Los Angeles to join his girlfriend, a wannabe
actress. On the journey, his life turns into a nightmare he can’t escape from. This anti-hero of classic
black cinema gets lost in an uncertain, Kafkaesque and desperate world. A great jewel of Hollywood’s
low-budget production. Ghostly, modern, moving, a definite must-see.

Alfred Hitchcock
USA, 1960, 109, bw

Perhaps the most famous horror film in history. It has invaded dreams and caused nightmares since its release five decades ago. Modern, terrifying and brilliant. Again, and finally, in its where it should be: the cinema screen.

An old child star, Baby Jane is today a mature woman who lives in an old mansion with her sister, an actress crippled for life from a car accident. It may be the greatest grand guignol of its time: impeccable combination of drama, macabre lies, this film is a poisoned tribute to two legendary stars and a precise image of Hollywood’s dark B-side.
