Modern Black & White Night
Koolhoven & Simons: Modern Black & White Night
Spot the difference: very occasionally directors decide, with good reason, to make black & white versions of their colour film. Tonight, excerpts from The Mist, Mad Max: Fury Road and Parasite, among others, with Guillermo del Toro's black & white version of Nightmare Alley as the feature film.
After excerpts from the black & white versions of The Mist, Mad Max: Fury Road, Logan, Parasite and Furiosa, Eye will screen Guillermo del Toro's black & white version of his remake of Nightmare Alley (Edmund Goulding, 1947), one of the most impressive, perverse film noirs of the 1940s. Del Toro's version of the adaptation of William Lindsay Gresham’s notorious bestseller reveals the shady practices behind the scenes at a travelling carnival. A charming spiritualist (Bradley Cooper) accrues renown, yet his restless ambitions ultimately lead to his destruction.

Koolhoven & Simons
Koolhoven and Simons will be scrutinising the genre film, presenting films within pretty forthright themes that have never before been screened at Eye. Expect evenings on Trucker, Grindhouse or Revenge of Nature films. A tribute to rarely screened trailers and forgotten classics, where possible in 35mm, using films from Eye’s collection.
