This book explores the formal and thematic conventions of crime
film, the contexts in which these have flourished and their links
with the social issues of a globalized world. The crime film has
traditionally been identified with suspense, a heterogeneous
aesthetic and a tacit social mind. However, a good number of the
crime films produced since the early 2000s have shifted their focus
from action or suspense and towards melodrama in narratives that
highlight the social dimension of crime, intensify their realist
aesthetics and dwell on subjectivity. With the 1940s wave of
Hollywood semi-documentary crime films and 1970s generic
revisionism as antecedents, these crime films find inspiration in
Hollywood cinema and constitute a transnational trend. With a close
look at Steven Soderbergh's Traffic (2000), David Fincher's Zodiac
(2007), Jacques Audiard's Un prophete (2009) and Tomas Alfredson's
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), this book sets out the stylistic
and thematic conventions, contexts and cultural significance of a
new transnational trend in crime film.
