    A Very Short Introduction

    de Michael Wood ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions

But they are stories in both cases, and there are very few films, even in ... Leer más

James Naremore's prize-winning book discusses these pictures, but also shows that the central term is more complex and paradoxical than we realize. It treats noir as a term in criticism, as an expression of artistic ... Leer más
