In doing so, it identifies the emergence of a specific cinematic figure - the 'intervallic' noir protagonist exposed to the redemptive force of his or her own passion. Significantly, the book contextualises the iconography of film noir in relation to prior art-historical visual traditions, in particular earlier representations of melancholia and the saturnine, locating noir against a much broader canvas than has been the norm. Examining central noir films of the classic and modern era (\u003ci\u003eThe Killers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Wasn't There\u003c\/i\u003e) as well as films at the peripheries of noir (from Jacques Tourneur's \u003ci\u003eCat People\u003c\/i\u003e to Wong Kar Wai's \u003ci\u003e2046\u003c\/i\u003e), the book locates a series of iconographic gestures, performance traditions and affective tonalities at once specific to noir and yet resonant with a deeper cultural and philosophical heritage. It is a meditation that uniquely grapples with the \u003ci\u003elook\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003efeel\u003c\/i\u003e of noir, and which dares to detect a unique quality of 'beatitude' that runs through a certain strain of noir films. In doing so, it illuminates why film noir remains one of the most provocative and affecting visual milieus of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePadraic Killeen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis a media scholar and arts journalist.
