The American film noir, the popular genre that focused on urban
crime and corruption in the 1940s and 1950s, exhibits the greatest
amount of narrative experimentation in the modern American cinema.
Spurred by postwar disillusionment, cold war anxieties, and
changing social circumstances, these films revealed the dark side
of American life and , in doing so, created unique narrative
structures in order to speak of that darkness. J.P. Telotte's
in-depth discussion of classic films noir--including The Lady from
Shanghai, The Lady in the Lake, Dark Passage, Double Indemnity,
Kiss Me Deadly, and Murder, My Sweet--draws on the work of Michel
Foucault to examine four dominant noir narrative strategies.
