Edges of Noir: Extreme Filmmaking in the 1960s

by Michael Mirabile

Michael Mirabile, assistant professor with term of English, challenges the notion that noir film nearly vanished after 1958 until its subsequent “neo-noir” revival between 1973 and 1981. He asserts that the 1960s, regardless of critical neglect, included some of the most provocative films of the post–World War II decades. Berghahn Books, 2024. 280 pages.
