Thoughtful analysis of the "Femme Fatale" in key noir films.,
By kvyoung@cc.wwu.edu (Bellingham,Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fatal Woman: Sources of Male Anxiety in American Film Noir, 1941-1991 (Hardcover)
Author does a thought-provoking analysis of the femme fatale in several key noirs 1940-present.Especially interesting are essays on "Double Indemnity","Out of the Past", and "Thelma and Louise".Book does not rehash conventional explications on these films regarding the "fatal women" represented in each.Anyone interested in film noir or the theme of the "fatal woman" in many of these films will find this book hard to put down.This book assumes that the reader have some familiarity with the films it discusses, or else much of the analysis will seem obscure. Recommended for the reader with more than a passing interest in the film noir genre.
