Film #38: The Killing

I'd totally forgotten I had a ticket for a Stanley Kubrick all-nighter at the Prince Charles cinema showing 6 Stanley Kubrick films. The first was The Killing, a film from the 50s set around a heist at a racing derby and the interplay between the half dozen protagonists planning it.

The story is straightforward and is engaging, but I was more drawn to the use of light and shadow.
A good film to start off with.
