City Lights

Urban fiction is a personal favourite.

I've just disovered a very helpful book by Ben Highmore...

"The Real and the Unreal: Perceptions and Articulations of the City in Novels and Film."

It looks like being a busy Autumn.

That looks quite interesting.

Adrian McKinty has a list of his favorite noir films going over at his blog, and there appears to be some overlap.

Don't worry, no one's getting too contentious on this one...

Thank you.

I've just watched a noir thriller called "The Locket" (1946).

Beautiful cinematography, but some seriously heavy handed Freudian analysis, as so many of these films insist on having.

One is almost stunned by all the symbolism in Noir.
