Jacob Burns Film Center: Noirvember: Chinatown

This November, the JBFC will be celebrating the rich history of film noir with screenings, lectures, special guests, events, and themed “unhappy” hours for guests to dress up and catch some of the best of the genre on the silver screen. This series will feature film noirs from the classic era of the postwar years and those made in subsequent decades.

Chinatown: Hired by a beautiful socialite (Faye Dunaway) to investigate her husband’s extra-marital affair, Jack Nicholson (Jake Gittes) is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together.
