"Naremore, one of our most perceptive and complete film scholars,
looks into the many cultural tributaries feeding into noir and
provides fresh insights into the films themselves."-Molly Haskell,
_Washington Post Book World _
"Film noir" evokes memories of stylish, cynical, black-and-white
movies from the 1940s and '50s-melodramas about private eyes, femmes
fatales, criminal gangs, and lovers on the run. James Naremore's
prize-winning book discusses these pictures, but also shows that the
central term is more complex and paradoxical than we realize. It
treats noir as a term in criticism, as an expression of artistic
modernism, as a symptom of Hollywood censorship and politics, as a
market strategy, as an evolving style, and as an idea that circulates
through all the media. This new and expanded edition of _More Than
Night _contains an additional chapter on film noir in the
twenty-first century.
