Book Reviews of Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir
Book Review: nice try
Summary: 3 Stars
I've listened to Eddie Muller's commentaries on various DVDs, and they have been excellent overall. He also seems like an extremely nice guy. Having said that, I had mixed feelings about this book. As another reviewer said, it is indeed written in a rather breezy way. It's also quite self-referential, which gets tedious sometimes. There are some genuine nuggets sprinkled throughout that pique your interest. Still, the treatment feels superficial, and the content blends together after a while. IMHO, I think it's more suited to suited to someone who's not that familiar with film noir.
