Eddie Muller Books
Eddie Muller is acclaimed as "The Czar of Noir" for his celebrated books on film noir. His profound understanding and passion for the genre stem from his own eclectic experiences, ranging from time in newspaper offices to art school and a fascination with filmmaking. Muller's work offers a distinctive lens on the darker aspects of human nature and the cinematic world, providing readers with engaging and intellectually stimulating insights.
Welcome to Dark City, urban landscape of the imagination. A place where the men and women who created film noir often find themselves dangling from the same sinister heights as the silver-screen avatars to whom they gave life. Eddie Muller, who led readers on a guided tour of the seamier side of motion pictures in Grindhouse: The Forbidden World of 'Adults Only' Cinema, now takes us on a spellbinding trip through treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years, when art, politics, scandal, style--and brilliant craftsmanship--produced a new approach to moviemaking, and a new type of cultural mythology. Dark City is a 1999 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Critical / Biographical Work.
