"Film noir" evokes memories of stylish, cynical, black-and- white movies from the 1940s and 1950smelodramas about private eyes, femmes fatales, criminal gangs, and lovers on the run. In More Than Night, James Naremore discusses these pictures, but he also shows that the central term is more complex and paradoxical than we realize. Film noir refers both to an important cinematic legacy and to an idea we have projected onto the past. This lively, wide-ranging cultural history offers an original approach to the subject, as well as new production information and fresh commentary on scores of films, including such classics as Double Indemnity, The Third Man, and Out of the Past, and such "neo noirs" as Chinatown, Pulp Fiction, and Devil in a Blue Dress. Naremore discusses film noir as a term in criticism; as an expression of artistic modernism; as a symptom of Hollywood censorship and politics in the 1940s; as a market strategy; as an evolving style; as a cinema about races and nationalities; and as an idea that circulates across all the information technologies. Interdisciplinary in approach, this book has valuable things to say not only about film and television, but also about modern literature, the fine arts, and popular culture in general. In a field where much of what has been published is superficial and derivative, Naremore's work is certain to be received as a definitive treatment.

行文流畅平实，视野开阔，娓娓道来（不装b），信息量巨大，全篇始终和读者保持着有效沟通。最大收获是理出了30s-90s所有noir元素片子的线索，以及从历史文化背景层面对noir意识形态的把握——作者所有的努力都围绕在试图把握noir而不是定义noir，这一点很值得肯定。

价值很高，需要对noir先有成熟的了解后再读才能吃明白（整本书骂得最狠的电影居然是洛城机密
