ENG 391 - Film Noir and the Noir Novel

1 semester, 3 credits-

In 1940’s and 1950’s, a new type of popular moviemaking emerged in the U.S. Drawing upon crime and detective stories, it featured lawbreakers were not all evil and law officers who were not always good. The ambiguity of these movies, which suited U.S. attitudes after the Second World War, survives in commercial films today. As we study this “dark” genre, we will consider critical debates about the meaning of noir. Same as TDF 324.
