NOIRVEMBER SERIES: 'LAURA (1944)' PRESENTED WITH INDY READS

Based on the acclaimed novel by Vera Caspary and cited as a cinematic inspiration of Martin Scorsese and David Lynch, LAURA is a psychologically complex portrait of obsession, a scathing critique of the male gaze, and a deliciously well-crafted whodunnit.
