More Than Night by James Naremore
Film Noir in Its Contexts
A wide-ranging study of film noir that examines how the term emerged, why it remains contested, and how the style evolved across Hollywood, Europe, and beyond. Blending close readings with historical research, it analyzes key films, critics, and cultural forces that shaped dark modernity on screen, from wartime anxieties to postmodern pastiche. It shows how noir’s imagery, themes, and mythology continue to inform contemporary cinema, art, and popular culture.
