Touch of Evil

Really solid noir with plenty of suspense and themes of corruption & truth VS appearances. Has some memorable shots and great cinematography/lighting. The studies of Quinlan and Vargas and how someone's renown does not always match their actions really resonated.

Touch of Evil

One of my favourite opening shots ever. The camera work is second to none. Great performances and Orson Welles’ direction is great. The murky and mysterious vibe works well. Noirs aren’t 100% my thing aside from Casablanca but this is a very good one
