Focuses on film noir set in non-urban settings. Through detailed readings of over 100 films set in suburbs, small towns, on the road, in the desert, borderlands and the vast, empty West, this investigates the alienation expressed by film noir, pinpointing its motivation in the conflict between desires for escape, autonomy and freedom - and fears of loneliness, exile and dissolution.
