Dames In The Driver'S Seat: Rereading Film Noir,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
With Its Focus On Dangerous, Determined Femmes Fatales, Hardboiled Detectives, And Crimes That Almostbutneverquite Succeed, Film Noir Has Long Been Popular With Moviegoers And Film Critics Alike. Film Noir Was A Staple Of Classical Hollywood Filmmaking During The Years 19411958 And Has Enjoyed A Resurgence In Popularity Since The 1990S. Dames In The Driver'S Seat Offers New Views Of Both Classicalera And Contemporary Noirs Through The Lenses Of Gender, Class, And Race. Jans Wager Analyzes How Changes In Film Noir'S Representation Of Women'S And Men'S Roles, Class Status, And Racial Identities Mirror Changes In A Culture That Is Now Often Referred To As Postmodern And Postfeminist.Following Introductory Chapters That Establish The Theoretical Basis Of Her Arguments, Wager Engages In Close Readings Of The Classic Noirs The Killers, Out Of The Past, And Kiss Me Deadly And The Contemporary Noirs L. A. Confidential, Mulholland Falls, Fight Club, Twilight, Fargo, And Jackie Brown. Wager Divides Recent Films Into Retronoirs (Made In The Present, But Set In The 1940S And 1950S) And Neonoirs (Made And Set In The Present But Referring To Classic Noir Narratively Or Stylistically). Going Beyond Previous Studies Of Noir, Her Perceptive Readings Of These Films Reveal That Retronoirs Fulfill A Reactionary Social Function, Looking Back Nostalgically To Outdated Gender Roles And Racial Relations, While Neonoirs Often Offer More Revisionary Representations Of Women, Though Not Necessarily Of People Of Color.
