Description:
The earlier Film Noir Readers, which now
boast a combined sale of well over 30 000 copies, have all quite deliberately
conveyed a sweeping overview of the classic period, demonstrating how broad and
inclusive noir movies are. Film Noir Reader 4 moves in a different
direction. Its purpose is to identify the key films and motifs of noir and to
analyze in depth the prototypical pictures that, while vivid examples of
certain cinematic themes, bend and break their molds to find new ways to
enthrall and frighten us. Like its predecessors, Film Noir Reader 4 is
generously illustrated and features essays by such respected film critics and
scholars as Robin Wood, J.P. Telotte, R. Barton Palmer, and Robert Porfirio.
All have as their purpose to explain why and how these classic films work; the
way screenplay, direction, acting, cinematography, editing and all the other
filmmaking crafts blended together to produce work that exemplifies both a
particular movement in film history and the innovations that keep the noir
style fresh and compelling.

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.
