Nicholas Ray films

The entire output of one of cinema’s most overlooked geniuses…He didn’t always have full creative control but he stamped each film with a signature claustrophobia of tepid American life as well as a true artist’s sensibilty towards the loner, the outcast, or the tortured. Jean-Luc Godard said of him: "There is theatre (Griffith), there is poetry (Murnau)there is painting (Rossellini), there is music (Renoir), there is dance (Eisenstein), and therefore there must be cinema; and the cinema is Nicholas Ray."
