“While Film Noir and the Possibilities of Hollywood should be of special interest to scholars of film noir, the book also proves to be a meaningful addition to the broader field of film and media studies.” (Heather Duerre Humann, Journal of Popular Film and Television, Vol. 48 (3), 2020)

Nathaniel Deyo is a lecturer in the Composition Program at the University of Miami, Florida, USA.

Offers close, detailed readings of well-known noirs, taking the full measure of their formal and stylistic achievements above and beyond their enactment of some pre-established understanding of what it means--formally or ideologically--to be a “film noir” Looks at noir in the popular imagination, as a fetish object for both online cinephile communities and a point of reference for decidedly non-cinephile media objects Expands upon and challenges existing academic discourse surrounding noir, refusing to “flatten” the films under consideration into a single, homogenous text
