Film Noir, Paperback / softback Book

Film Noir Paperback / softback

Edited by Homer B. Pettey, R. Barton Palmer

Part of the Traditions in World Cinema series

Paperback / softback

Out of stock

Description

Much of the appeal of film noir concerns its commentary on social anxieties, its cynical view of political and capitalist corruption, and its all-too-brutal depictions of American modernity.

This book examines the changing, often volatile shifts in representations of masculinity and femininity, as well as the genre’s complex relationship with Afro-American culture, observable through noir’s musical and sonic experiments.
