Neo-noir knows its past. It knows the rules of the game -- and
how to break them. From "Point Blank" (1998) to "Oldboy" (2003),
from "Get Carter" (2000) to "36 Quai des Orf?vres" (2004), from
Catherine Tramell to Max Payne, neo-noir is a transnational global
phenomenon. This wide-ranging collection maps out the terrain,
combining genre, stylistic and textual analysis with Marxist,
feminist, psychoanalytic and industrial approaches. Essays discuss
works from the US, UK, France, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and
New Zealand; key figures, such as David Lynch, the Coen Brothers,
Quentin Tarantino and Sharon Stone; major conventions, such as the
femme fatale, paranoia, anxiety, the city and the threat to the
self; and the use of sound and colour.
