Description
European Film Noir explores the development and significance of film noir in European cinemas. This comprehensive study brings together specialist discussions of film noir in France, Germany, Britain, Spain, and Italy, providing an authoritative understanding of this important aspect of European cinema. The Introduction examines the challenges of defining film noir, its key characteristics, and its impact on European film. The book then delves into eight chapters, each focusing on a specific national cinema, analysing both earlier developments and the evolution of neo-noir through to the present. A further chapter explores film noir in Italian cinema, where its presence is less well-defined. This study will be of interest to undergraduates, film scholars, and researchers seeking to understand European cinema and its relationship with American film noir.
