Bloody, bracingly funny in parts, and terrifically suspenseful ...

... a miracle ... masterful ... indisputably great ... I haven't seen a stronger or better American movie all year.

... measured yet excitingly tense, violent yet maturely sorrowful... a hugely entertaining slice of sunbaked Gothic.

For formalists -- those moviegoers sent into raptures by tight editing, nimble camera work and faultless sound design -- it's pure heaven.

An instant classic ... destined to be studied in film schools for generations to come ...

No Country For Old Men

If noir is the great urban style of the movies — and it is — then New York City is surely the noirest place on earth.

N.Y.C. Noir

In this guide to more than forty film noirs and the locations where they were shot, readers visit the Mission Dolores cemetery, where James Stewart spies Kim Novak visiting Carlotta’s grave in Vertigo; the Steinhart Aquarium, where Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth rendezvous in The Lady from Shanghai; and Kezar Stadium, where Clint Eastwood, in Dirty Harry, captures the serial killer, Scorpio, in a blaze of ghastly white light.

Martin Scorsese calls it "a fascinating work of criticism disguised as a guided tour around a great city."

"Nathaniel Rich's smart, incisive, and inclusive book will appeal to lovers of film noir—and of San Francisco—all around the country. A wonderful guidebook to that city's cinematic netherworld, it makes you want to get lost in the films even as you find your way through the city."
