Killer's Kiss
V**A
Kubrick classic
I hadn’t heard of this film; it was part of a three film boxed set. It’s short but punchy, literally. Shot in black and white with some great shots of 1940s Brooklyn, the story follows a boxer who’s at the end of his career. He meets a girl, falls in love and plans a new life. But things go wrong and he ends up being suspected of murder, wanted by the police and his world falls apart.As a piece of 40s film noir, it’s an interesting example. Fascinating to see how Kubrick started as a director and developed over the decades. There are some real early gems around and this is one of them. Enjoyed it.
