Packed with diverse articles.

An issue packed with strong, diverse articles.

Opener “Black Rain” showcases post war Japanese Noir. From the hard boiled prostitutes shifting in “Women In The Night” to the Hamlet inspired “The Bad Sleep Well” to the opportunistic hustler in “Black River.”

Christa Faust, whom I heckled in a previous issue, offers a lineup of older women in “Stars Are Ageless.” This outing, her choices are inspired and off the beaten track. Three recent Neo-Noirs she mentioned were new to me, and I hunted them down.

I was unfamiliar with French writer / director José Giovanni. Imogen Sara Smith’s article makes a good case for his books and key films, though not for his tawdry history.

There is a nice overview of plum Jô Shishido roles, which ought to be useful to the curious or to newcomers to foreign Noir.

The underrated Zachary Scott merits respect in a list of his darker work. There is also an informative piece on Hubert Cornfield. I did not know his work and will try to rectify that.

Add a great Bill Duke article, as well as a “Black Caesar” appraisal. Right on.

As always, these Noir City Annuals do not stay in print long. Reprints ought to be p.o.d. but they are not (I mention this every review). Buy now.

Excellent but damaged

Love, Love, Love it. Terrific articles and photographs throughout. However my physical copy was damaged, arriving with an oddly twisted spine, which I'm guessing was the fault of the publisher and not Amazon (everything but the spine was in pristine shape). I would order another copy but fear at 25 dollars I would receive an item in identical condition.

Superbly entertaining essays on our favorite film genre.

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2011

This extraordinary collection of essays, by various authors, represents some of the most thoughtful and frankly entertaining literature currently available in the seemingly inexhaustible field of "film noir" criticism.

Covering everything from obscure and "lost" films to long-forgotten actors and actresses, the Noir City Annual assembles an astonishing array of informative, opinionated and intelligent articles, managing to avoid the dry, academic quality that often plagues cinematic critique by never forgetting the roots of its subject matter: cheaply made, skin-of-your-teeth, bottom-of-the-bill B (and sometimes lower!) pictures which, not surprisingly, are more representative of their respective eras than most of the higher profile "prestige" films made at the same time.

Highly recommended to film fans in general and, in particular, to those who appreciate the fine art of low budget movie-making; the interviews with actors and directors of the period provide more educational value to the serious student than an entire semester of film school.

The Film Noir Foundation ([...]) is to be applauded for this compilation and one looks forward to more.

I really enjoyed this collection - particularly the reviews of contemporary films like Inglorious Basterds and Shutter Island as noir films. As a lover of the genre, I'm glad to be supporting the foundation in its work.

Late coming this yesr but woth the wait

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021

I love the Noir City annuals. Until recently individual issues were only available for download so it has been nice to have a hard copy of the best articles of the year. Articles provide insight into various aspects of film noir and this annual delivers the goods. Buy it while you can. They always sell out and are not reprinted. I missed the early ones and they fetch big bucks on the resale market when they occasionally pop up for sale.
