Description
NOIR CITY, the acclaimed magazine of the Film Noir Foundation, now available in print! Issue 40 revolves around Los Angeles, and the rich, complicated history the city has had with noir over the years. Eddie Muller takes us on a tour of the “City of Angles,” highlighting the significant films that have taken place on its streets, and pinpointing the ways in which each of them speak to a different aspect of the L.A. experience. Also in this issue: Brian Raftery celebrates the wave of sleazy neon-noir that characterized L.A. in the 1980s; Mary Mallory lays out the definitive SoCal map with regards to noir landmarks; Zach Vasquez dishes on the difference between a little-known Raymond Chandler novel and its even less-known film adaptation; Imogen Sara Smith deftly explores the isolation of the big city through a trio of 1960s docudramas; Travis Woods pops the hood on the mechanical poetry of both The Driver and Drive; Rachel Walther takes us on a Santa Monica detour with a remembrance of Night Tide; Danilo Castro assumes the perspective of L.A. outsiders by comparing films from four different decades; and Nicholas Laskin examines the impact that Crime Wave had on the advent of street realism. Plus book reviews, film reviews, and more. Read more
