Double Indemnity is a film noir movie made in 1944 starring Fred MacMurray and Babara Stanwyck. It has themes of sex, seduction, murder and deceit.
I enjoyed the film as it is very different from other films we have been studying. I like films which explore gritty and dark themes as it seems to give much more to the audience as a film.
The portrayal of the femme fatale by Stanwyck was ingeniously done. Her subtle style of acting made the character seem a lot more sinister than just playing her in an explicit way.
Also, with film noir, the power of suggestion is utilised very well and adds to the film's overall darkness.
