Consider the usual view of film noir: endless rainy nights
populated by down-at-the-heel boxers, writers, and private eyes
stumbling toward inescapable doom while stalked by crooked cops and
cheating wives in a neon-lit urban jungle. But a new generation of
writers is pushing aside the fog of cigarette smoke surrounding
classic noir scholarship. In Kiss the Blood Off My Hands: On
Classic Film Noir, Robert Miklitsch curates a bold collection of
essays that reassesses the genre's iconic style, history, and
themes. Contributors analyze the oft-overlooked female detective
and little-examined aspects of filmmaking like love songs and radio
aesthetics, discuss the significance of the producer and women's
pulp fiction, and investigate topics as disparate as Disney noir
and the Fifties heist film, B-movie back projection and blacklisted
British directors. At the same time the writers' collective
reconsideration shows the impact of race and gender, history and
sexuality, technology and transnationality on the genre. As bracing
as a stiff drink, Kiss the Blood Off My Hands writes the future of
noir scholarship in lipstick and chalk lines for film fans and
scholars alike. Contributors: Krin Gabbard, Philippa Gates, Julie
Grossman, Robert Miklitsch, Robert Murphy, Mark Osteen, Vivian
Sobchack, Andrew Spicer, J. P. Telotte, and Neil Verma.
