A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir
Featuring rumpled PIs, shyster lawyers, corrupt politicians, double-crossers, femmes fatales, and, of course, losers who find themselves down on their luck yet again, film noir is a perennially popular cinematic genre. This extensive encyclopedia describes movies from noir's earliest days – and even before, looking at some of noir's ancestors in US and European cinema – as well as noir's more recent offshoots, from neonoirs to erotic thrillers. Entries are arranged alphabetically, covering movies from all over the world – from every continent save Antarctica – with briefer details provided for several hundred additional movies within those entries. A copious appendix contains filmographies of prominent directors, actors, and writers. With coverage of blockbusters and program fillers from Going Straight (US 1916) to Broken City (US 2013) via Nora Inu (Japan 1949), O Anthropos tou Trainou (Greece 1958), El Less Wal Kilab (Egypt 1962), Reportaje a la Muerte (Peru 1993), Zift (Bulgaria 2008), and thousands more, A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir is an engrossing and essential reference work that should be on the shelves of every cinephile.

Snow in July
From the award-winning pen of Kim Iverson Headlee comes the exciting, poignant love story of a distressed damsel who wields a fierce fireplace poker and the smoking hot knight she must save from himself. "Captivating!" ~ Kemberlee Lugo-Shortland, Heart of Fiction Sir Robert Alain de Bellencombre has been granted what every man wants: a rich English estate in exchange for his valiant service at the Battle of Hastings. To claim this reward, the Norman knight must wed the estate's Saxon heiress. Most men would leap at such an opportunity, but for Alain, who broke his vow to his dying mother by failing to protect his youngest brother in battle, it means facing more easily broken vows. But when r...
Justice & cinéma
Ce livre s'adresse bien sûr aux gens de justice, mais aussi à tous ceux que préoccupe la justice et qui sont désireux d'en percer le mystère. Car si nous avons souvent l'intuition de ce qu'est la justice, nous n'en possédons pas pour autant l'intelligence. C'est donc à la comprendre que l'auteur s'essaie dans cet ouvrage, en utilisant pour ce faire les ressources insoupçonnées que procure le cinéma.. En effet, le septième art a figé sur la pellicule, en une multitude de scènes et de figures, ce qui échappe d'habitude aux spectateurs de la chose judiciaire. Et pour cause : la justice, indissociable du procès par lequel elle advient, est fugace et labile. Une fois le procès achevé, elle-même s'enfuit. De même que la peinture capte l'éternité du paysage, l'image filmée procurerait le moyen d'atteindre à l'essence de cet insaisissable phénomène que l'on nomme justice. Voilà du moins le pari tenté
