Description

Neo-noir is a genre that knows its past and understands how to subvert its rules. This collection brings together essays from various fields - including film studies, history, and cultural analysis - to explore the global phenomenon of neo-noir. From works by David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino to films like Oldboy and 36 Quai des Orfèvres, neo-noir is a transnational movement that has been studied and analyzed through different lenses. This book maps out the terrain of neo-noir, examining its key conventions, such as the femme fatale and paranoia, as well as its use of sound and colour. By combining genre analysis with Marxist, feminist, psychoanalytic, and industrial approaches, this collection offers a comprehensive understanding of neo-noir's history and significance.
