Today I cheat (slightly) in my French Noir #noirvember with "Compartiment Tueurs" from Costa-Gavras (1965). It's only 50% noir, the rest is a taut thriller. Forgive me, it's just too good, with a cast to die for.

There's something about some characters ... you can't quit them. Have a look at today's post on the S**Ck, link in comments.

It's all about Film Noir right now ... can we do hilarious too?
I LOVE LUCY “L.A. at Last!” (CBS, 1955) starring Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, William Frawley and William Holden Developed by Jess Oppenheimer and Desi Arnaz

Continuing the French Noir for #Noirvember. Louis Malle's "Ascenseur pour l'échaffaud" (1958). As inescapable as being stuck in a lift. Part Greek tragedy part theater of the absurd, and Jeanne Moreau's voice over riffing with Miles Davis's soundtrack.

Today at the Garage we're featuring an excellent story from @jdclappwrites "Wounded” isn’t about hunting — it’s about what happens when doing the right thing comes with a price you don't expect. Check it out: https://t.co/heU4UoXeTl 🎸📷 #LitGarage #ShortStory #Wilderness

Kick off Thursday with cool short fiction from @NathanBorn2010 "Slaves and Scammers" has a blend of voices ranging from Donald Westlake to Hunter Thompson with some Charles Willeford but still distinct & unique. Appropriately current too. Read it here: https://t.co/xnGp6Lj9mV

A true French Noir classic for #Noirvembre today with "Le Corbeau" by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Filmed in 1943 during the Occupation. A sulphurous, cynical, ambiguous masterpiece. Banned in France until 1947, when Clouzot was again allowed to make movies.

We're back with a story that hits the high end of gritty American realism from @mike_mchone. Love the fatalism, the stripped down moral compass & cinematic flow. A distinct, hardboiled neo-noir voice Check it out for yourself: https://t.co/ixojPfc3QR 🎸📚 #flash #fiction #noir

Today's #NoirvemberChallenge French Noir rec. is "Classe Tous Risques" (1960, Claude Sautet). Written by master Jose Giovanni. Perfect ... hardboiled and a heartbreak. Highly highly recommended. Note that all these films are online, just dig a little.
