Night Moves (1975)

Private eye Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman) is assigned to find the missing daughter (Melanie Griffith) of an aged Hollywood starlet. The case seems simple, but soon a deeper conspiracy is unravelled, all while Harry's marriage falls apart. Directed by Arthur Penn (<em>Bonnie and Clyde</em>), Night Moves one of the seminal neo-noirs of the New Hollywood, a sun-drenched hardboiled detective story to rival Chinatown and The Long Goodbye, and a weary indictment of a nation in decline.

In the wake of a collapsing studio system and disintegrating Hollywood Production Code a new generation of filmmakers took the reins of Hollywood movies and transformed the shape of American cinema. Combining Hollywood traditions with modern sensibilities, the New Hollywood made the arthouse mainstream, creating a legacy of artistry in American moviemaking which has never been matched. <strong>About the Host, Daniel Simpson:</strong> Daniel Simpson is a recent PhD graduate in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies at Queen’s University, having written his dissertation on the New Hollywood cinema of Mike Nichols and Arthur Penn.
