"I was enthusiastic upon hearing that the next Filmspotting marathon was going to be Film Noir, and that Double indemnity would kick it off. While I’ve seen many Noirs over the years, like Sam, I was always ashamed that I had never seen Double Indemnity. Luckily Filmspotting was there to help. I picked up Double Indemnity at my local video store and popped the DVD into my player, eager with anticipation.

The hyper editing and extra gore made me loose interest, mostly because I felt SEE-sick. As Sam said “ I had to ask myself if I was sitting too close to the screen, and I wasn’t sitting too close.” However, hyper-editing aside, I enjoyed the film’s grainy digital aesthetic and it’s claustrophobic nature. What I found most interesting was the way Fresnadillo played with the moralizing of character’s decisions. For the majority of the film I was mad at Fresnadillo for vilifying Robert Carlyle’s decision to leave his wife.
