If Scarlet Street hit the spot, these will too

Fritz Lang directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Scarlet Street does

The same two preoccupations: film noir, and murder

The same city underneath both: New York City


Contemplative where it counts, gritty underneath

Drama built on atmosphere, twice over

Both are Fritz Lang's work, and they rhyme

Both keep coming back to the same thing: murder

Crime with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Gritty drama, and it commits to that

Both lean on atmosphere more than on crime

Contemplative drama in both cases
In the mood for more contemplative?
