Nihilism in Film and Television
(2006)
by Kevin L. Stoehr
Stoehr offers a critical overview of the nihilistic vision of film noir
from Citizen Kane
to The Sopranos.
Though I offer an alternative to a noir interpretation of The Sopranos
(click here), Stoehr's chapter on this TV
series is insightful, as is the entire book. For publisher's
information click on the title.
