Nude in a White Car (1959) | Radiance Films # 142 Wicked Games Blu-ray Review

In this video, I take a look at Nude in a White Car, released by Radiance Films as spine number 142, and included as part of their Wicked Games Blu-ray set.

Directed by Robert Hossein, this stylish and provocative French crime thriller captures the restless anxieties and moral ambiguities of late-1950s European cinema. Blending noir-inflected suspense with youthful rebellion and fatalistic romance, the film reflects a society on the cusp of cultural and cinematic transformation.

Radiance’s Blu-ray presentation offers a beautifully restored transfer and strong contextual extras, allowing Nude in a White Car to be reassessed as a key work in Hossein’s early career and a striking example of transgressive post-war French genre filmmaking.

🎬 About the Film

Nude in a White Car (1959) is a moody and unconventional crime drama that explores obsession, desire, and alienation through a distinctly modern lens. Hossein’s direction favours atmosphere and psychology over straightforward thrills, resulting in a film that feels both intimate and unsettling.

As part of Radiance’s Wicked Games set, the film sits alongside other morally complex and emotionally charged works that challenge conventional narratives of love, crime, and responsibility.
