Stirling Gardner, D. Reynolds, and Shiva Rose in Black Days (2001)

The classic story of "angst ridden artist meets psychotic misanthrope" takes a grisly, yet esoteric turn in this darkly comedic exploration of the film noir genre.The classic story of "angst ridden artist meets psychotic misanthrope" takes a grisly, yet esoteric turn in this darkly comedic exploration of the film noir genre.The classic story of "angst ridden artist meets psychotic misanthrope" takes a grisly, yet esoteric turn in this darkly comedic exploration of the film noir genre.

A fantastic, sarcastic, neo-noir gem

I had the good fortune of seeing BLACK DAYS at a sneak preview recently, and all I can say is that this is a wonderfully-realized, modern adaptation of noir that everyone who loves comic books, noir, and sarcasm should see. Directors Jim Morley and Ari Margolis have managed to turn the femme-fatale story up-end and backwards, but, at the same time, steadily guide the audience through its own world of twisted humor and knowing self-depreciation (did that make any sense?) In short, this is an absolute original, and one worth seeing at any possible opportunity.

masterpiece of noir

I saw this film at a film festival in NYC in Aug of 2001. The place was packed and loved the film as much as I did.

Not many writers/directors can get noir to come out of modorn actors mouths but Margolis/Morley did it. Plus, to be able to mesh pop-culture with hard-core noir was a hoot to see and hear!!

This film is recommended for all who enjoy smart filmmaking and witty scripts. Both male leads put in top-notch efforts. The ice cream scene still has me laughing.
