Elevator to the Gallows [Ascenseur pour l'echafaud]
N.p. N.p., Circa 1958. Vintage borderless oversize reference photograph from the 1958 French film noir, showing a gloved Julien Tavernier carefully staging his lover's husband's death as a suicide.
The film's new cinematic realism was both indebted and pivotal to the French New Wave, and skyrocketed the career of Moreau, whose disaffected, makeup-less performance was the scandal of Paris for months following the film's release.
