This year’s theme is “Face the Music,” featuring nine classic movies about musicians who travel down film noir’s dark streets. Consult the full schedule below, which is terrific from beginning to end.

The Full Story
We have a complete description of NOIR CITY: Philadelphia 2026 with all the details at www. amblertheater.org

(R) USA – 1 hr 53 min
1981 · d. Lawrence Kasdan
Starring Kathleen Turner, William Hurt, Richard Crenna, Mickey Rourke

It’s hot the night Ned Racine (William Hurt) meets Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner). She’s married…unhappily. A steamy affair soon gives way to a plan—knock off her hubby, take his dough for themselves. This Double Indemnity riff brings the noir spirit into the ‘80s, where the Hays Code is but a memory.

This screening is presented in conjunction with the course American Neo-Noir: Reimagining the Classic Noir Archetypes, taught by Paul Wright, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm.

(R) UK/US – 1 hr 43 min
1996 · d. Mary Harron
Starring Lili Taylor, Jared Harris, Martha Plimpton, Stephen Dorff

Lili Taylor electrifies as brilliant-yet-volatile artist Valerie Solanas, whose attempt on the life of Andy Warhol brought fame to her radically anti-male SCUM Manifesto. Long out of circulation, now newly-restored in 4K, this controversial indie classic from Mary Harron (American Psycho) conjures the energy—and underbelly—of the late ’60s NYC art scene.

Director Mary Harron will join us for a post-film conversation, moderated by Alice Bullitt, M.A., BMFI Board Member.

2026 · d. Scott Ellis – Written by Noël Coward
Starring Rose Byrne, Kelli O’Hara, Tracee Chimo, Mark Consuelos
General Public: $20, BMFI Members: $18, Students with ID: $12

With their husbands away for the day, two upper-class wives share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances—with the same man, who just may be en route to visit. Golden Globe-winner Rose Byrne and Tony Award-winner Kelli O’Hara star in Noël Coward’s intoxicating comedy of bad manners, which has been shocking and delighting audiences since its 1925 premiere.
