Bøger af James Ursini

Film historians and critical commentators, Alain Silver and James Ursini, authors of THE NOIR STYLE and editors of FILM NOIR THE ENCYCLOPEDIA and the FILM NOIR READER series, turn their attention to the myriad of other books and key articles about the classic period from the "discovery" of the cycle by French critics in the aftermath of World War II to the on-going attempts to distill the essence of the noir movement. With 100 illustrations and an extensive Bibliography.

Noted film noir authority James Ursini (The Film Noir Reader series, L.A. Noir, and numerous DVD commentaries) analyzes the work of five underrated independent directors--Hugo Haas, Reginald LeBorg, Ida Lupino, Gerd Oswald, and Edgar G. Ulmer. This lavishly illustrated study examines their films as works of art and their careers as outsiders who directed films on the edge of Hollywood and paved the way for the modern American independent film movement.
