Well, the World Cup is upon us with controversy as to its location firmly attached. There are likely to be fewer films of interest for a week or two, but we’ll find something!
DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944) Sunday 20 November 9.00-11.05pmm Sky Arts (Ch 11)         
Many film enthusiasts regard this as the best film noir ever made. It has a femme fatale (of course), a ‘perfect’ murder (plus patsy) and an insurance scam. Billy Wilder directs Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Edward G. Robinson and it really is one of the greats.
SURGE (2020) Sunday 20 November 10.00-11.35pm BBC 2    P     
This week’s new British thriller is not quite up to some of the other premieres in the current season, but is of interest, nevertheless. Ben Whishaw plays a security guard who goes off the rails and embarks upon a crime spree. 
LES MISERABLES (2019) Wednesday 23 November 11.55pm-2.00am Film Four         
Absolutely NOT what you might expect from the title! This is a tremendous debut feature from Ladj Ly, who uses his personal experiences of growing up on a Parisian housing estate to telling effect. It is all there: the racism, poverty and hard-line policing and it is riveting. A shame that it is on at such a late hour, so if you are unable to record look out for a future repeat!
