About this product
Product Information
Drawing on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Giorgio Agamben, The Dark Interval teases out the aesthetic and ethical significance of this strange sense of 'noir beatitude', which - via its own distinctive visual register - can be understood to respond to our current condition in a modernity that has become 'post-historical'. The book contextualises the iconography of film noir in relation to prior art-historical visual traditions, locating noir against a much broader visual canvas than has been the norm. Examining central noir films of the classic and modern era ( The Killers , The Man Who Wasn't There ) as well as films at the peripheries of noir (from Jacques Tourneur's Cat People to Wong Kar Wai's 2046 ), the book identifies a series of iconographic gestures, performance traditions, and affective tonalities that are specific to noir. It is a meditation that uniquely grapples with the look and feel of noir and which illuminates why film noir remains one of the most resonant and affecting visual milieus of our time.

"Film noir, Padraic Killeen argues, is a cinema of missing persons. It is around this condition of missingness, gleaned from intervallic moments of inertia and irruption, passivity and passion, arrest and absorption, that this perceptive and philosophically probing study gracefully pivots. Through an eclectic and innovative montage of theories and films that effortlessly transcends the discursive constraints of genre, period and style, The Dark Interval presents a fresh and conceptually rich prism that brings out a paradoxically redemptive light from the shades of noir." -- Henrik Gustafsson, Professor of Media Studies, Film & Visual Culture, University of Tromsø, Norway, author of Crime Scenery in Postwar Film and Photography (2019) "One of the classic images of film noir is the moment where the hero pauses to light a cigarette and exhale slowly as if unaware of the narrative's demand for action. Now, in this masterly study of the genre from Padraic Killeen, that moment gets its due. Arguing for this state of apparent passivity to be considered as a "dark interval" or glimpse of potentiality, Killeen invokes a pantheon of thinkers to tease out just how this might affect our reading of noir. As he moves easily between his choice of texts, from Cat People through Alphaville , The Long Goodbye , and The Big Lebowski , Killeen demonstrates an extraordinary facility for interrogating established perspectives, while always remaining lucid and focused. This is at once a film lover's guide to noir and a rigorous application of philosophical thought to one of popular culture's most enduring genres." -- Ruth Barton, Head of School of Creative Arts, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and author of Irish National Cinema (2004) and Hedy Lamarr: The Most Beautiful Woman in Film (2012), "Film noir, Padraic Killeen argues, is a cinema of missing persons.

[A] refreshing and illuminating take on familiar existential tropes in film noir." -- Journal of American Culture " The Dark Interval is well researched, written, and argued. Killeen defines key terms and invents novel uses for philosophical concepts by applying them to contemporary film texts. ... Padraic Killeen's book is one that similarly satisfies the reader's appetite for a hearty feast of philosophy and film." -- Film-Philosophy, "Film noir, Padraic Killeen argues, is a cinema of missing persons.
