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.
