The Night of the Hunter January 29, 2011

The only film ever directed by acclaimed actor Charles Laughton, The Night of the Hunter is as graceful as it is terrifying, carefully blending themes of good and evil with the tonality and mood of a fairy tale.

Paired with the third part of Histoire(s) du cinema, in which Godard quotes Laughton’s unforgettable moonlit scene of two children’s flight from a sinister Robert Mitchum.
