Following on from the success of last year’s cinema retrospective “Femmes, Femmes, Femmes”, Le French May is proud to present a new and ambitious programme that pays tribute to one of France and Hong Kong’s favourite genres, Film Noir with 27 unique films screened across Hong Kong from 3 to 26 June. A highlight in the Festival, it places a spotlight on their different approaches to the genre, showcasing their creative diversity and distinctive styles. As such, the programme is varied, with crime, thrillers and dramas that encompass fictional stories tinted with a realism and romanticism that captures the essence of the French genre. The programme comprises three parts: Panorama, which focuses on French contemporary cinema over the last decade; Classics in Focus, featuring French classics spanning the 60’s up to the 90’s; And Carte Blanche to Johnnie To, a selection of films that mainly represent Hong Kong’s New Wave cinema of the 80’s.
