NOIR CITY: Boston returns to its home at the Brattle Theatre, June 9-11 with eleven films celebrating their 75th anniversaries. FNF board member, film professor, and author Foster Hirsch will introduce the festival screenings. NOIR CITY opens with a double feature of Robert Siodmak's "Cry of the City", co-starring Victor Mature and Richard Conte, and Jules Dassin's "The Naked City", shot on location in New York City, starring Barry Fitzgerald. Five films will run on Saturday and four films will play on Sunday.

Saturday's lineup starts with "He Walked by Night", an influential police procedural, directed by Alfred L. Werker and an uncredited Anthony Mann, photographed by perhaps the greatest film noir cinematographer, John Alton, and starring Richard Basehart.

Rounding out the afternoon films is "The Spiritualist", lensed by John Alton, featuring Turhan Bey, Lynn Bari, and Cathy O'Donnell. The evening films kick off with John Farrow's "The Big Clock," starring Ray Milland, Charles Laughton, and George Macready. Henry Hathaway's newspaper noir "Call Northside 777", the first film shot entirely on location in Chicago, follows with noteworthy performances by Jimmy Stewart and Richard Conte.

Sunday begins with a screening of Douglas Sirk's "Sleep, My Love" starring Claudette Colbert and featuring Don Ameche playing against type as a murderous husband. The second film of the day — Preston Sturges' black comedy "Unfaithfully Yours" also features an actor playing against type, Rex Harrison, as a murderous husband. The final evening of the festival begins with Anatole Litvak's adaption of Lucille Fletcher's renowned radio play, "Sorry, Wrong Number", starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster. The festival of 1948 films finishes with a screening of George Sherman's "Larceny" featuring the incredible lineup of John Payne, Dan Duryea, Shelley Winters, and Joan Caulfield.

[dustedmagazine]

Philip Gayle — reject. defect. (Yabyum)

philip gayle · no comment death

There’s a moment, just shy of the seventh minute of the seventh track on reject. defect., where a siren makes itself hear somewhere behind Philip Gayle’s slithering guitar, Charles Waters’ moaning bass clarinet, and Shelley Hirsch’s mindboggling burble and babble. A minute further into “Third Doctor Miracle Box,” the siren returns, slowly rising in the mix as the musicians wind down. Ordinarily, one might take that as a neat audio verité artifact, but given the time and place when this album was recorded — in Brooklyn, in February and March 2020 — it’s hard not to hear it and think, yep, that’s when the shit went down.

In a career that’s spanned nearly a quarter century, Gayle has toured occasionally but widely, and has recorded mainly in Texas and Japan. About half of the album’s playing could have been recorded anywhere, since they feature Gayle multi-tracked on guitars, mandolins, and waterphone, delineating a sound world that has some external reference points, but can only be drawn together within his mind. In solo mode, Gayle’s center of consciousness is as much on the feeling of air vibrating as it is upon the strings, wood, and membranes that make the atmosphere move. “Earth Whole” opens the record with wave upon wave of snaps, slides, and wobbles so turbulent that they evoke mental images of jet barnstorming at illegally low altitude, skimming the tops of a bamboo forest. Perhaps the pilot involved flies so low because they know they need not fear a crash; on “No Comment Death,” the listener falls down, down, down, into that hole in the floor of the guitar store and through the collective subconscious of Harry Partch’s wood-working elves. 

The four tracks that make up the other half might be entitled, “Mr. Gayle Goes to Brooklyn.” Alongside “Third Doctor Miracle Box,” two feature him in the company of Waters, Hirsch, the late and much-mourned percussionist Michael Evans, and string players Stephanie Griffin and Emilie-Anne Gendron. Gayle is part of the ensemble, melting into the ensemble’s eerie flux while Hirsch’s cackle holds the center.  But on the twelve minute-long “Gotham Spleen,” Gayle’s whistling waterphone does the whole band’s job, gusting around Loren Connors’ contemplative guitar. Stark and haunting, Connors’ playing joins that aforementioned siren as a reminder that even when you’re doing what makes you feel alive, somewhere nearby, ghosts are going about their eternal business.
