ENGFLM 1696 - FILM NOIR

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will explore film noir from its classical period 1941-1958 (e.g. Double Indemnity), to contemporary films considered to be 'neo-noir' since the 1970s (e.g. Taxi Driver, Blade Runner, Fight Club, Memento, etc.), and the international films described as 'global noir' from Japan, Hong Kong, Europe, and many other places throughout the world. We will look at these films and media objects from the perspective of film art and history, of their relationship to wider socio-cultural contexts, and of their exploration of gender and sexuality. This is a Critical Studies course and counts for Category II towards the Film and Media Studies major and minor.
