For this Friday Movie Night, first up is Better Days (2019), a Chinese thriller about a bullied schoolgirl who enlists the aid of a bodyguard with a mysterious past to ward off her assailants. Meanwhile, she tries to pass her final exams, and uh oh, what’s this? Could romance be blossoming? I guess we’ll find out. One of the highest-rated Chinese films on Letterboxd, and by the best-known and best-reviewed work to date of director Derek Tsang.

After that, since Fury (1936) was a hit last night, we will delve again into the filmography of renowned director Fritz Lang, with The Big Heat (1953), another highly-regarded entry in his Hollywood phase. A classic film-noir, it follows the one good cop in a corrupt police force as he tries to take down a sadistic mob boss, as revenge for the suicide of his friend. A whole lot of shooting and other bloodshed ensues, to a greater extent than pretty much any movie that preceded it. This is considered one of the best crime films of the 1950s, so let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
