Mirage

I’ve never heard of this movie, but it was apparently a box office success and everything. It’s from 1965, but it’s very much a 50s Film Noir movie, so it’s all kinds of weird.

It’s one of those paranoid movies where you don’t quite know whether he’s lost his memory or something else screwy is going on. It’s nice and tense.

Walter!

Triple A.

It’s pretty good! I’m not sure the plot actually makes sense — there’s a conspiracy going on, but it seems to rely on things the people involved couldn’t possibly know. But it’s really tightly plotted — it’s like a clockwork thing.

It’s hard to really get into, though, because it’s just so weird.

Mirage. Edward Dmytryk. 1965. ⚃
