Product Description
This book combines film studies with urban theory in a spatial exploration of twentieth century Los Angeles. Configured through the dark lens of noir the author examines an alternate urban history of Los Angeles forged by the fictional modes of detective fiction film noir and neo noir. Dark portrayals of the city are analyzed in Raymond Chandlerâs crime fiction through to key films like Double Indemnity (1944) and The End of Violence (1997). By employing these fictional elements as the basis for historicising the cityâs unrivalled urban form the analysis demonstrates an innovative approach to urban historiography. Revealing some of the earliest tendencies of postmodern expression in Hollywood cinema this book will be of great relevance to students and researchers working in the fields of film literature cultural and urban studies. It will also be of interest to scholars researching histories of Los Angeles and the American noir imagination. | Film Noir and Los Angeles Urban History and the Dark Imaginary
