This ultimate companion to gritty black-and-white postwar classics reveals that the dark stars led desperate, nefarious lives both on-screen and off., Eddie Muller seriously takes film noir not too seriously--just the right mix, and with great stills., "The best book ever written on film noir."--Mystery Scene "Eddie Muller seriously takes film noir not too seriously-just the right mix, and with great stills."--Paul Schrader "Dark City is a thoroughly enjoyable companion to the unique, sometimes twisted pleasures of film noir, from acknowledged classics like Out of the Past to lesser-known gems like Born to Kill and The Chase. In a genre where some see mostly fatalism and social critique, Eddie Muller also finds humor, eroticism, and the unfettered inventiveness of an extraordinary generation of directors and actors."--Geoffrey O'Brien, author of The Phantom Empire "This ultimate companion to gritty black-and-white postwar classics reveals that the dark stars led desperate, nefarious lives both on-screen and off."--Details "Even if you aren't a film buff, you'll probably find Dark City compelling. . . .

Synopsis
Welcome to Dark City , urban landscape of the imagination. A place where the men and women who created film noir often find themselves dangling from the same sinister heights as the silver-screen avatars to whom they gave life. Eddie Muller, who led readers on a guided tour of the seamier side of motion pictures in Grindhouse: The Forbidden World of 'Adults Only' Cinema , now takes us on a spellbinding trip through treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years, when art, politics, scandal, style--and brilliant craftsmanship--produced a new approach to moviemaking, and a new type of cultural mythology. Dark City is a 1999 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Critical / Biographical Work.

- 3***a (2)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufI bought this for my best friend of almost 20 years for his birthday but I mistakenly submitted the incorrect address on the order. I requested a cancellation to resubmit and the seller resolved the issue in less than half an hour. The seller even offered to send a birthday card with my order. My friend said he loved it and that the shipping was quick, packaged well, and matched the photos. Is a great value gift for someone who grew up watching the animated series and loves Star Wars.Star Wars Clone Wars Arc Trooper Captain Maquette Statue Gentle Giant 148/2500 (Nr. 187005894527)
