This Argentinian film noir adapted from a pair of Cornell Woolrich stories is a rare and underseen gem. In two tales of good and evil, the first story follows a man seeking revenge for the death of his sister, while the other details the reunion between a blind mother and her criminal son. Featuring spine-tingling suspense and gorgeous cinematography, NEVER OPEN THAT DOOR is a Spanish-language production that perfectly captures the noir tropes of the time. Presented in a new restoration by the UCLA Film and Television Archive with funding from the Film Noir Foundation. In Spanish w/ subtitles.
Come early at 5:30pm to our screening of NEVER OPEN THAT DOOR to engage with Head Manager Kyle and other film lovers in a discussion about the Garden's inaugural international film festival. Garden Goes Global is a chance to celebrate and acknowledge the diversity of cinematic style, technique, perspective, and talent from around the world. We want to explore how these nine films enrich our understanding of international cinema.
