Review Quotes:
What if noir is not just a category and corpus, but a sensibility, an attitude, a resonance? How might that change our understanding of Varda and Wajda? Of films made in exile or under dictatorship? Of transnational stories? Of minor works? Helford and Weedman have gathered some startling answers to their remarkable proposition.
