Promotional Details
The trio of scholars who have put together “Greek Film Noir,” Anna Poupou, Nikitas Fessas, and Maria Chalkou, are keenly aware of what the critic and historian Robert Hughes referred to as “cultural cringe” — the perception that one’s own culture is somehow behind the curve of other countries or peoples. “The study of Greek film noir,” the trio write, “is directly linked to how Greeks see themselves as part of an increasingly dystopian landscape.” In so many words: The world’s going to hell and we want in.
