Book Presentation:
L'heure est venue pour un peu d'élégance ténébreuse. Soixante-dix ans après que le terme «film noir» a été employé pour la première fois par le critique de cinéma français Nino Frank, cette nouvelle sélection célèbre la splendeur graphique du genre avec des centaines d'affiches parmi les plus emblématiques de ces décennies, du Grand Sommeil à Assurance sur la mort, Sueurs Froides et La Soif du mal.Ces images iconiques sont organisées dans l'ordre chronologique et par thèmes clé, parmi lesquels: L'amour en fuite, Détectives, Braquages et Tueurs psychopathes. Captivants par la manière dont elles distillent la beauté sinistre du film noir à travers leur graphisme, ces affiches transmettent les mêmes frémissements de tension, de paranoïa et d'érotisme que les films qu'elles promeuvent. L'anthologie permet aussi de revenir sur les tours de forces de grands réalisateurs comme Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang ou Robert Siodmak, et de vedettes indissociables du genre comme Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, Lauren Bacall et Joan Crawford, resplendissants dans toute leur gloire de dur à cuire ou de femme fatale.
