Film Noir: 100 All-Time Favorites

Köln: Taschen GmbH. Near Fine. (c.2014). Presumed 1st Edition. Hardcover. (pictorial boards; no dust jacket, as issued) [nice clean copy, essentially as-new but very slightly bumped at bottom corners of both covers]. (B&W and color photographs) Massive, lavishly-illustrated survey of the genre, with credits, critical commentary, and oodles of photographs for each of one hundred films chosen by the editors as "all-time favorites," beginning with THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1920) and ending with DRIVE (2011). (An appendix lists 1,000 "film noirs [sic] and neo-noirs from around the world released between 1920 and 2012," chronologically, by title only.) A nice touch is that for each of the 100, there is also a full-color reproduction of one of the film's original posters. NOTE that the text of this edition is entirely in English. ****ALSO NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this very heavy volume; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
