SCRN 131 - Film Noir and its Contexts

An in-depth study of this highly influential yet much debated category of American cinema. This course considers the status of film noir as a genre, European and American influences, visual and narrative techniques, cultural contexts such as existentialism, psychoanalysis, and postmodernism, and articulations of gender and race in studio-era and contemporary noir. Weekly class screenings are accompanied by out-of-class film viewing and by course readings drawn from a broad variety of historical, analytical, and theoretical studies.
