In defense of the Femme Fatale 🐍

A cozy video essay about everything film noir (1930-1950). Hard-boiled detectives and the femme fatales that led him into the heart of darkness. We’ll cover: -the scrappy filming of film noir Los Angeles as both a location and character -The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler (book + movie) -Double Indemnity -Sunset Boulevard I will put on my public defender hat and de-vilify the femme fatale archetype using two fictional cases: the vixen (Phyllis Dietrichson, Double Indemnity) and cougar (Norma Desmond, Sunset Boulevard). #filmnoir #femmefatale #doubleindemnity
