 | | The Femme Fatale in Film Noir | | by Ferdine, Jul 1, 2008 | | Film Noir can be seen to dramatise male post-war anxiety about women assuming a more dominant position in society. This concept is embodied by the femme fatale, the dangerously attractive women. Film Noir heroes mirror the dismay felt by veterans returning home to find women in an alarming position of authority. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 7 |

 | | Detour: A Classic Film Noir | | by Ferdine, Feb 28, 2008 | | Initially the preserve of major Hollywood studios, film noir sprang out of 1930s gangster pictures such as Scarface and Public Enemy. The earliest examples retained the studio-look, star-casts, and generous budgets of their immediate predecessors, but combined them with a darker tone and less clear-cut moral centre. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 17 |
