Eddie Muller Libri
Eddie Muller è acclamato come "Lo Zar del Noir" per i suoi celebrati libri sul film noir. La sua profonda conoscenza e passione per il genere derivano dalle sue eclettiche esperienze personali, dal suo trascorso nelle redazioni giornalistiche agli studi d'arte e alla sua fascinazione per il cinema. Il lavoro di Muller offre una lente distintiva sugli aspetti più oscuri della natura umana e del mondo cinematografico, fornendo ai lettori intuizioni avvincenti e stimolanti intellettualmente.
Welcome to Dark City, urban landscape of the imagination. A place where the men and women who created film noir often find themselves dangling from the same sinister heights as the silver-screen avatars to whom they gave life. Eddie Muller, who led readers on a guided tour of the seamier side of motion pictures in Grindhouse: The Forbidden World of 'Adults Only' Cinema, now takes us on a spellbinding trip through treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years, when art, politics, scandal, style--and brilliant craftsmanship--produced a new approach to moviemaking, and a new type of cultural mythology. Dark City is a 1999 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Critical / Biographical Work.
