A screening of Orson Welles's "Touch of Evil" during the AMERICAN NOIR festival

The latest edition of the AMERICAN NOIR festival sees the screening of Orson Welles's film Touch of Evil. Considered one of Welles's masterpieces for its visual impact and its particular use of cinematic language, Touch of Evil is a parable about geographical and moral borders, a daring noir and a lucid examination of the corruption of justice in jeopardy, guilt and power. Introduced by Gabriele Rigola.
