Illustrated throughout with movie stills  a diverse selection of films (from Bladerunner to Little Caesar)  genres  cities and historical periods are examined by leading names in the field. The key dimensions of film and urban theory are introduced before detailed analysis of the various cinematic forms which relate most significantly to the city. From early cinema and documentary film  to film noir  New Wave and postmodern cinema  the contributors provide a wealth of empirical material and illustration whilst drawing on the theoretical insights of contemporary feminism  Benjamin  Baudrillard  Foucault  Lacan  and others. The Cinematic City shows how the city has been undeniably shaped by the cinematic form  and how cinema owes much of its nature to the historical development of urban space. Engaging with current theoretical debates  this is a book that is set to change the way in which we think about both the nature of the city and film.
