APRES NOIRVEMBER: ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS


“Moreau wanders the Paris streets at night, abandoned and alone. Malle and cinematographer Henri Decaë shot these scenes with their camera in a baby carriage, the scandalously makeup-free star illuminated only by the lights of the city surrounding her. Quietly revolutionary, it’s one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful passages in any movie of its era.” – Crooked Marquee, 11/18/2022
