The Noir Pairings hybrid film series pairs a neo-noir with a classic noir movie for comparison and discussion. In Le Cercle Rouge (1970) directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, ex-convict and master thief Corey crosses paths with a notorious escapee and an alcoholic former policeman. The trio proceed to plot an elaborate heist at a jewelry store in Paris. This film is paired with The Asphalt Jungle(1957) available on-line. Free popcorn will be served, and a discussion will follow the screenings.
