1/14: Elevator to the Gallows

it's getting more and more difficult to pick movies that nobody's seen... hopefully this is one - if so, we'll watch it at my place on sunday..



ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS
1957, directed by Louis Malle

In his mesmerizing debut feature, twenty-four-year-old director Louis Malle brought together the beauty of Jeanne Moreau, the camerawork of Henri Decaë, and a now legendary score by Miles Davis. A touchstone of the careers of both its star and director, Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l'échafaud) is a richly atmospheric thriller of murder and mistaken identity unfolding over one restless Parisian night.
