The author discusses two-volume anthology of articles edited by Mark Conard – The Philosophy of Film Noir (2006) and The Philosophy of Neo-Noir (2007) – concerning the connections between film noir/neo-noir and philosophy and some contemporary streams of pop culture analysis. The authors of the texts link both noir phenomena with such philosophers as nihilistic and vitalistic Nietzsche, existentialistic Sartre, Kierkegaard or Heidegger, and with Marx and Freud. A reader can also find in the books some thoughts from the Frankfurt School (Horkheimer and Adorno) applied to some movies of the noir stream. There are some interesting notes in the Conard’s books – Wolfgang Schlott concludes – but the weakness of the anthology is the lack of a distinct binder joining all the texts and, as a consequence, the weak systematization of the discussed questions.

The review of the anthology The Philosophy of Film Noir, edited by Mark Conard and published by the University of Kentucky Press in 2006, presents most of the essays from the volume, summarizing and discussing the problems and ideas they raise, in order not only to publicize quite recent opinions and remarks of American film criticism on film noir, but also to contextualize them. What is worth emphasizing here is that they represent, on the one hand, the evidence of the revival of film history postulated by Thomas Elsaesser at the beginning of the 1990s and the decline, or the waning, as David Bordwell said a few years later, of Grand Theory, on the other hand. Constituting overtly the turn to history in cinema studies, they manifest another stage in the process of studying and analyzing film noir that has remained unabated since the late 1940s. The persistence of this critical activity that has resulted in quite large number of books, articles and essays on the subject published each year for decades, generates a question on whether such enduring appeal reveals something covertly related to the American Psyche.
