The MAGNIFICHE VISIONI (MAGNIFICENT VISIONS) Permanent Festival of Restored Film continues at Cinema Massimo with a screening of Joseph Losey’s The Prowler.

The National Museum of Cinema presents its sixth evening in the MAGNIFICHE VISIONI (MAGNIFICENT VISIONS) permanent festival of restored film.

The programme features Joseph Losey’s The Prowler, an allegory depicting how greed and moral corruption was infecting American society after the war. The film was much admired by James Ellroy who wrote: “The Prowler is one of my favourite films: a masterpiece of sexual creepiness, institutional corruption and suffocating, ugly passion.”

The copy of the film being shown was restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive with support from the Film Noir Foundation and the Stanford Theatre Foundation.
