Something of the Night is a bi-weekly Sunday film club devoted to the shadow-drenched world of classic film noir. These are films of moral ambiguity, fatal desire, and late-night conversations that never end well. Expect private eyes, doomed lovers, double crosses, cigarette smoke, and city streets slick with rain and regret.

Programming focuses on noir from the 1940s and 1950s, alongside key neo-noir titles that carry the tradition forward. The films selected are rich in atmosphere and character, balancing hard-boiled dialogue with emotional depth and existential unease. This is cinema that lives in the spaces between right and wrong, hope and corruption.

Something of the Night is as much about mood as it is about film history. Sunday evenings downstairs at The Ill Repute provide the perfect setting: dim lights, low ceilings, and the sense that you’ve slipped into another world for a few hours. Screenings are presented with thoughtful introductions that offer context without breaking the spell.

Whether you’re a lifelong noir obsessive or discovering these films for the first time, Something of the Night invites you to slow down, sink into the darkness, and let the night take over. Trust no one. Watch closely. The truth is always slippery.
