NOIR CITY, the acclaimed magazine of the Film Noir Foundation, now available in print! Issue #43 pays tribute to legendary filmmaker David Lynch, and the idiosyncratic yet influential body of work he left behind following his death at age 78. Zach Vasquez breaks down Lynch’s seminal neo noir contributions, and the ways in which Lynch’s surreal approach to storytelling both honored and subverted the classic noir tropes that inspired him. Also in this issue: Eddie Muller revisits, and reconsiders, the legacy of the Fritz Lang masterpiece The Big Heat ; Nick Rossi celebrates the career and skill set of beloved character actor Joseph Calleia; Drew Smith looks back at John Frankenheimer’s unnerving thriller Seconds in the wake of the similar (and Oscar-nominated) film The Substance ; Carsten Andresen recounts the risks that the cast and crew took during the making of the acclaimed Iranian crime drama The Seed of the Sacred Fig ; Stefen Styrsky digs into the textually rich yet troubled lineage of writers in noir films; Rachel Walther sings the praises of the fascinating Bette Davis vehicle Beyond the Forest ; and Eddie Muller brings it home with a write up of the criminally underseen Destroyer . Plus film reviews, crossword puzzles, and more.
