The historiography of personalism is increasingly emerging in our times. Most recently:
“I find nothing as cinematically satisfying as film noir. Whether part of the original genre (“The Big Sleep,” “Double Indemnity”) or a modern adaptation (“L.A. Confidential”), these films’ colorful characters and snappy dialogue never lose their appeal. One gets hooked on the character types — crooked cops, put-upon private eyes and tough-as-nails women (often a “fallen woman,” as in “Notorious”). The tone is dark and cynical; the ending sometimes bleak. And if the plots do not always hang together or the music is just a little too melodramatic, well, that is all part of the charm.”
