Surveying the nuanced implications of the film noir genre, Harry Kuoshu argues that global \u003ci\u003eneo noir\u003c\/i\u003e maintains a mediascape of references, borrowings, and re-workings and explores various social and cultural issues that constitute this Chinese episode of \u003ci\u003eneo noir\u003c\/i\u003e. Combining literary explorations of carnival, postmodernism, and post-socialism, Kuoshu advocates for \u003ci\u003eneo noir\u003c\/i\u003e as a cultural phenomenon that connects filmmakers, film critics, and film audiences rather than an industrial genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarry H.
