Film Noir (Bibliotheca Universalis)

A quality book on the subject of film noir with 100s of superb photos and informative articles about the subject. It is a pity the book spent a lot of time about a small number of films (good as they are) as well as the overall genre. I would have loved a book about all 500+ films that sort of make up that genre but it is still a fine book

Over 600 pages of background info and pics of this fascinating phase of American movies. A good introduction. Oddly have not yet found any ref to Lizbeth Scott & Arlene Dahl, elsewhere described as the “Queen of FM” & “Most Beautiful...” respectively.

This a great book, plenty of stills from some of the most important noir films, chapters on what makes a film a film noir and a closer look at 50 films in the genre. Avery good introduction to noir that will get you interested in checking out these classic films and reading more about them. Recommend.

This is just the book I was looking for on 'Film Noir', great detail and excellently put together. I would highly recommend it.

A marvellous publication. I could hardly put it down. A full analysis and appreciation of the world of Film Noir and its dodgy people

This is a wonderful book to explore so many of the great film noir genre. It is excellently illustrated, featuring original posters and may stills from the films. Fascinating and wonderfully informative. A great buy!

I love owning this book, it's gorgeous and the content very interesting but why they thought it was okay to have such tiny print size I do not know. So I have to lop off a star, sorry. But you do need a magnifying glass to read it comfortably. Sort it out, Taschen.

Beautifully illustrated book "out from the shadows".
