Twilight
Gene Hackman: A Week with the Gene Genie
July 25 - 31, 2025
Featuring Gene Hackman in a sly, slippery turn as a man with too much to lose, Twilight is a slow-burn sunset noir—gorgeous, grown-up, and quietly devastating.
Old secrets don’t die quietly in Robert Benton’s moody, late-’90s neo-noir with Paul Newman as a retired private eye living in quiet exile on the Hollywood estate of his longtime friends, fading movie stars Jack (Gene Hackman) and Catherine (Susan Sarandon). Years after being shot in a family dispute involving their runaway daughter (Reese Witherspoon), Harry survives on their guilt and generosity until a routine errand pulls him into a blackmail plot that dredges up a decades-old disappearance. Newman is indelible in one of his final leading roles, matched by Hackman in a sly, slippery turn as a man with too much to lose. Less a whodunnit than a meditation on aging, loyalty, and the shadows cast by old fame, Twilight is a slow-burn sunset noir—gorgeous, grown-up, and quietly devastating.
