![]() I had not seen the film, but I had read up enough on the genre to know that the film was very well regarded. One title that I was most excited to check out was Arthur Penn’s 1975 neo-noir classic Night Moves. ![]() Thrissivaperoor Kliptham (ത്രിശ്ശിവപേരൂർ ക്ലിപ്തം). Plot: What’s it about I have recently been working my way through Warner Bros’ Archive Collection.In psychiatric terms Knight's Move thinking is referred to something like Schizophrenia. The film's title comes from the Knight Moves in chess but spelled differently. It also has got a unique visual sense with the grainy LA Florida colour tone. Despite the convoluted nature of the plot, it is a great watch with great performances. When he travels to Florida, as part of the case, a similar opportunity like in Maud's is presented to him. Later that night he discovers that his wife is having an affair. At the beginning of the film, she and her gay friend invites him to watch Eric Rohmer's 'My night at Maud's' and he declines it by stating that watching Rohmer films is like watching paint dry. Moseby is also facing some difficulties in his marriage with his wife being unhappy about the nature of his work. That didn't really dilute the quality of film as it is more focused on the characters rather than the plot. Can't really fault him though because at the end of it you realize that the plot is too convoluted with too many convenient coincidences. He laments that things just fell into place for him rather than him working out things cleverly. Night Moves is another one in similar vein with Gene Hackman's Moseby being a good detective but always being a bit late and one-step behind the crimes that happen in the film. Chinatown is the most famous one from 70s even though I hold Robert Altman's 'The Long Goodbye' as the best. The neo-noir films from the 70s are characterised by vulnerable detectives unlike the more cleverer and macho ones from the 40s.
