That movie is often cited as the end of the line  noir''s rococo tombstone...the film after which noir could no longer be made  or at least could no longer be made in the same way... It is my belief  Hirsch writes  that neo-noir does exist and that noir is entitled to full generic status. Over the past forty years  since noir''s often-claimed expiration  it has flourished under various labels. Among the movies he discusses as evidence: ÊChinatownÊ (1974)  ÊBody HeatÊ (1981)  John Woo''s Hong Kong blood-ballets (e.g.  ÊThe KillerÊ  1989) and the pulpy oeuvre of Quentin Tarantino.  ä ÊWashington Post Book WorldÊ","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515817431383,"sku":"9780879102883","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780879102883.jpg?v=1745427986","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/detours-and-lost-highways-9780879102883","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
