Reviews

Conrad's collection provides room for abstract thought through a sustained philosophical engagement with the sub-genre.... written in 'nontechnical language and require no knowledge of philosophy to appreciate or understand.' --Film-Philosophy -- </p>

Much has been written about neo-noir's distinction from classic noir... but the 13 new essays in this anthology rejuvenate the discussion. Conard and his contributors see to it that these essays are accessible to nonacademic readers. --Library Journal -- </p>

Conard can fell confident that these terrific essays will be of interest to film enthusiasts, particularly fans of Neo-Noir. Additionally, for those who come to this volume with some background in philosophy, not only will they be pleased to find fellow philosophers offering accessible introductions to philosophical thinkers and ideas but they are sure to increase their understanding of noir, Neo-Noir, and many familiar film titles, as well as more deeply appreciate the ways in which popular film and television offer wide and varied avenues to doing good philosophy. -- Kimberly A. Blessing, co-editor of Movies and the Meaning of Life
