Paranoja noir. Ukryta rzeczywistość czarnego kryminału
Paranoia Noir: The Hidden Reality of Film Noir

Summary/Abstract: Paranoia is a frequent cinematic subject in movies depicting both representations of paranoid personalities and conspiracy theories. It might be not only part of the plot (events), but also an important factor influencing the narrative structure and other filmic devices. It might also serve as a metaphor. This happens in film noir, where paranoia is both a subject and an element influencing the general vibe. In three categories of film noir – gothic noir, puzzle/mind-game films and stoner noir – filmmakers use subjectivisation and other narrative devices in order to introduce paranoia both as a metaphor and a commentary on contemporary social reality.
