The Naked City​

Jules Dassin

Sweet Smell of Success

Alexander Mackendrick
​USA  ·  1957

Broadway has never been as seductive or as menacing as it is in this bitter farce about a venomous gossip columnist (Burt Lancaster) and his soulless lackey (Tony Curtis).

“A delirious, almost nostalgic wallow in old-school corruption” – Criterion

​​Screening times, reviews and trailer >>

Picture

Taxi Driver 

Martin Scorsese
​USA ·  1976
​
Scorsese’s excoriating thriller captures Times Square as a miasma of XXX theatres, sex shops and peep shows, with Robert De Niro as the embittered vet who sees himself as its saviour.

“Martin Scorsese's unflinching plunge into the darkest recesses of the human soul still feels painfully relevant” – Time Out
