Abstract
The frequent, emphatic declaration of a strong emotional attachment to film noir affirms the fundamental relationship between film noir and cinephilia. The recognition that the initial identification and appreciation of film noir is intertwined with the emergence of cinephilia encourages a strong emphasis on one of the most startling aspects of the subject of film noir, which is emphasized by recent film historiography. The cinephilia central to film noir has been fueled by the release of films now identified as film noir – often in sets that group films by the posthumous label. As the recent work in film technology and reception has emphasized, the popularity of informative extras and commentary by filmmakers or critics on DVDs of films encourages a new form of cinephilia. Film noir, already has grouped a number of DVD releases, including a “Fox Film Noir Collection” and the Film Noir Classic Collection from Warner Home Video.
