Throughout the run of Chicago Collects: Jewelry in Perspective, the Driehaus Museum hosts ‘Heist Night’ film screenings of classic heist films and talkbacks with film experts. In the 1955 French film Rififi, what begins as a minor burglary swiftly escalates into a grand-scale jewel heist orchestrated by seasoned jewelry thief Tony and his crew. Directed by Jules Dassin and starring Jean Servais, Carl Mohner, and Marie Sabouret, the film will be introduced by University of Chicago Professor Leora Auslander, who will set the context for the film with a primer on the visuals and narrative.
