Noir in the Twenty-first Century --Notes --Bibliography --General Index --Film and Broadcast Index"Film noir" evokes memories of stylish, cynical, black-and-white movies from the 1940's and '50's-melodramas about private eyes, femmes fatales, criminal gangs, and lovers on the run. James Naremore's prize-winning book discusses these pictures, but also shows that the central term is more complex and paradoxical than we realize. It treats noir as a term in criticism, as an expression of artistic modernism, as a symptom of Hollywood censorship and politics, as a market strategy, as an evolving style, and as an idea that circulates through all the media. This new and expanded edition of More Than Night contains an additional chapter on film noir in the twenty-first century.Film noirHistory and criticismFilm noirInfluenceFilm noirMotion picturesFilm noirHistory and criticism.Film noirInfluence.Film noir.Motion pictures.791.43/655 22Naremore James456838DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910828276103321More than night1684974UNINA
