Beschreibung

Film and Talk with Scott Stelle, d.a.i. Tübingen. Join us for a monthly multimedia exploration of popular literature and film. Most film noir masterpieces are translations of hard-boiled thrillers. The works from this genre, aside from gritty realism, contain a political subtext that exposes the dark underbelly of American society. One quickly gathers from reading investigative journalism that law, commerce, and politics undeniably deal with intrigue and lies, while thrillers – though technically a fiction – dramatically depict these worldly struggles in a more straightforward, true-to-life or humorous manner.

John Pearson, All The Money in the World (1995: film, 2017): 16-year-old John, grandson of the world’s richest oil tycoon, gets kidnapped. His grandpa sees no reason to pay $17 million, though, leaving his mum with limited options and his grandson in the hands of impatient kidnappers.
