About this Event
Welcome to Noirvember with The Fanthropologist. Noirs are just old movies where men slap women and shoot other men, right? Wrong! Noirs are complex social commentaries on depression, agency, justice, violence, and systemic toxicity. And they look gorgeous.
Synopsis: The Hays Code prevented the 40s and 50s noirs from having a truly repugnant, sad-sack antihero main character in a noir, but not the 70s babyyyyyyy!!!! This updated adaptation of the famous Raymond Chandler novel has everything: Elliot Gould, color, standing in the supermarket facing down your mortality, and a cat.
In 1970s Hollywood, Detective Philip Marlowe tries to help a friend who is accused of murdering his wife.
Suggested donations are $10 per ticket and accepted at the door.

The Fanthropologist is a film and TV academic who specializes in fandom and fan communities. Partnering with Dandelion Collective, she is excited to host a slate of fun, cult, and timeless film favorites with a queer lens (it's the only lens she's got). Ranging from Pre-Code to 90s throwbacks, Fanthropologist movie nights are a great way to spend a night out, be in community, and talk pop culture.
