Through Detailed Readings Of More Than 100 Films Set In Suburbs, Small Towns, On The Road, In The Desert, Borderlands And The Vast, Empty West, The Author Investigates The Alienation Expressed By Film Noir, Pinpointing Its Motivation In The Conflict Between Desires For Escape, Autonomy And Freedomand Fears Of Loneliness, Exile And Dissolution.Through Such Films As Out Of The Past, They Live By Night And A Touch Of Evil, This Critical Study Examines How Film Noir Reflected Radical Changes In The Physical And Social Landscapes Of Postwar America, Defining The Genre'S Contribution To The Eternal Debate Between The Values Of Individualism And Community.
