The Naked Dawn. 1955. Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer

June 12 at 4:30pm

Midtown East

This 1955 Technicolor Western noir from cult director Edgar G. Ulmer arrives at MoMA in rare 35mm, a format that lets the saturated desert colors and shadowy betrayals hit like they did in '55. François Truffaut lifted the film's love triangle for Jules and Jim, and you'll see why: it's greed, desire, and moral rot wrapped in 82 tight minutes.
