Point Blank

Director: John Boorman

1967 / 92min / 35mm

Somebody owes Lee Marvin money, and until they pay up, heads are going to get kicked in. Boorman’s crisp, brutal, and possibly metaphysical adaptation of one of Donald Westlake’s Parker novels utilizes a bevy of innovative and ingenious editing and narrative techniques to follow Marvin’s professional criminal on his rounds through a candy-colored Los Angeles. The definitive ’60s crime film.
