Let's explore two iconic film noir masterpieces—The Maltese Falcon and Chinatown—and explore how each portrays the hard-boiled detective navigating a world of corruption, moral ambiguity, and elusive justice. While both films share classic noir themes, they differ in tone, style, and cultural context. This class will compare and contrast their storytelling, characters, and deeper messages. Attendees should be familiar with both films prior to the session, as interactive discussion and critical analysis will be encouraged. Join us for a thought-provoking look at how noir evolved from the 1940s to the 1970s.
