Reviews

International Noir provides a fascinating overview of the issues and concerns that each country's cinema culture brings when they adapt or develop films which can be labelled as 'film noir'. This volume will provide a good first point of contact for researchers interested in the international reach of noir; each chapter surveys the film landscape of a particular country, highlighting key issues and critical sources for further scholarly exploration. -- Maxine Gee, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television
