Problem
In what way did the cinematography of Force of Evil, a film noir, remind you of German Expressionism? Give examples from one or two scenes and include the time cues or describe the scenes in detail. How effective is the cinematography in telling a crime story in Force of Evil?
What do you think the title, Force of Evil, refers to in the film? Why did Polonsky use a male voice-over narration to tell the story and how did that shape your understanding of the"evilness"? What did the film tell you about the post-war era?
