The Killing
Stanley Kubrick / US, 1956 / 85 min.
Johnny Clay thinks he has planned the perfect robbery, but perfection is unpredictable when it involves humans, Stanley Kubrick reveals in his film noir classic.
A hero is someone who has been reckless and gone unpunished so states the often quoted definition by Dutch author W.F. Hermans. And a gangster in a film noir? That is someone who calculatingly seeks out danger with the knowledge that they may be punished, Stanley Kubrick would say.
