About the event

Cinema Dissection: Point Blank
Combining a classic hardboiled crime story with an expansive, visual style highly influenced by European New Wave filmmakers, director John Boorman delivered what has become a quintessential neo-noir. Lee Marvin stars as Walker, a low-level, hard-as-nails criminal whose partner just left him for dead and absconded with his cut of a $93,000 heist and Walker’s wife. Walker tracks his partner to Los Angeles seeking his cut of the loot—and vengeance, too—only to get entangled in the byzantine machinations of the Organization, a new kind of criminal syndicate more concerned with stocks and bonds than bullets, babes, or even cold, hard cash.

Join facilitator and SIFF Programmer Dan Doody on a scene-by-scene breakdown of this seminal L.A. crime story.

ABOUT CINEMA DISSECTION
Cinema Dissection affords film lovers an exciting opportunity to dig deeper into the films that they love. Inspired by Roger Ebert's annual Cinema Interruptus in Boulder, CO, attendees will participate with a facilitator in a six-hour scene-by-scene, and sometimes shot-by-shot, deconstruction of the featured film. While the facilitator will certainly share their thoughts, anyone in the audience may call out "Stop" and either ask a question of the group or make an observation around a certain shot or moment in the film.
