Descent into the Deep Web
The program on Monday gets underway in the spirit of Noir’s poster this year: with an event built around the deep web. It continues with a masterclass on Graham Greene and John le Carré, while authors Alex Michaelides and Maurizio de Giovanni take the stage for our Conversation series. On the big screen, Monday’s two premieres are Golden Leopard winner Vengeance is Mine, All Others Pay Cash, and the French-made, Korean-set Vanishing.
