CINE 118 - Film Noir: A Transnational Perspective

FC ARHU
4 credits
In 1998, the late Jean-Claude Izzo argued that the murder of Abel by Cains hand made the Bible the first noir novel. By situating the origin of noir in the Mediterranean context, Izzo opened the door to a rethinking of the genre that included not only its Atlantic connections, but also its little-known influences east of Gibraltar. Through the exploration of works from Great Britain, Italy, Spain, and France, this course will reposition film noir in a transnational and global context.
