Description:
This revised and
expanded edition of Eddie Muller's Dark City is a film noir lover's bible,
taking readers on a tour of the urban landscape of the grim and gritty genre in
a definitive, highly illustrated volume.
Named by The Hollywood
Reporter one of the "100 Greatest Film Books of All Time!"
Dark City expands with
new chapters and a fresh collection of restored photos that illustrate the
mythic landscape of the imagination. It's a place where the men and women who
created film noir often find themselves dangling from the same sinister heights
as the silver-screen avatars to whom they gave life. Eddie Muller, host of
Turner Classic Movies' Noir Alley, takes readers on a spellbinding trip through
treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years, where art,
politics, scandal, style -- and brilliant craftsmanship -- produced a new
approach to moviemaking, and a new type of cultural mythology.
