| Publisher Description: Assurance sur la mort, En quatrième vitesse ou Le Grand sommeil... déambulez à travers un univers cinématographique à l'élégance sombre et inquiétante grâce à ce guide essentiel sur le film noir. Du détective privé aux flics corrompus, en passant par les crimes parfaits et les affaires maudites, les éditeurs Paul Duncan et Jürgen Müller explorent les thèmes clés du genre et ses productions les plus représentatives sorties entre 1940 et 1960. Richement illustré d'images de film et d'affiches originales, cet ouvrage se penche, au fil des pages, sur les mises en scènes les plus magistrales et analyse les scénarios modèles d'un genre mystérieux, envoûtant et varié. Pour satisfaire encore plus votre appétit de cinéphile, le livre se clôt par la liste des 50 plus grands films noirs selon TASCHEN. Avec son lot d'héroïnes énigmatiques, de gangsters aux abois et de tueurs psychopathes dont l'ombre fascinante continue de planer sur le cinéma, voici le guide indispensable pour les spécialistes comme les amateurs du genre noir. À propos de la collection Bibliotheca Universalis: la compilation culturelle indispensable qui rend hommage à l'éclectisme de l'univers TASCHEN ! |
