Description: This volume reveals film noir's relationship to 19th century and 20th century literary movements, as well as to early European and American cinematic experiments and modernist artistic movements, particularly the French serials of Feuillade and German Expressionism. It traces the development of both the genre and style of noir from the Second World War up to the Cold War.
