Allen Baron’s BLAST OF SILENCE
(1961, 77 min)
First ever screening at Retro!
Here is a noir for people who truly hate the holidays. Hate the insipid thought of being with friends and family, hate the crowded stores brimming with gifts, and most of all, hate themselves. It’s a nihilistic little knockout of a film, with director Allen Baron playing a hitman who comes to New York for an assignment. A few chance encounters lead to his cold exterior melting away, but he’s so far removed that the transformation fails to stick, and winds up doing more harm than good. The film is impressive on many levels, from its bone-chilling location photography to its depiction of Christmas as a cruel reminder to those who are unwanted in the world. It’s as if every stocking and decorated tree in the store window peels back another layer of Baron’s already-fragile state.
