- Description
- xviii, 316 p. : ill.; 23 cm.
- Summary
- Reproduces and re-sequences nearly 150 still images from 31 films, laying them out with the authors' informed and entertaining insights into the significance of each shot. The result is a de facto meta-film noir; a celebration of the genre that shows how these films are themselves constrained texts whose carefully calculated visual forms simultaneously generate narrative and critical commentary on that narrative. From publisher description.
