DESCRIPTION:Prior to our screening of Jean-Pierre Melville’s film noir cl
 assic Le Samouraï (1967)\, Assistant Professor of Philosophy Sean T. Murp
 hy will give a short presentation introducing some of the important artist
 ic elements and aesthetic values of the genre. He will discuss how certain
  formal elements of film noir\, like its use of minimalist visuals and spa
 rse\, opaque dialogue work hand-in-hand with its narrative content to crea
 te a sense of uncertainty about characters’ motivations and the directio
 n of the plot. Using Melville’s Le Samouraï as an example\, he will als
 o touch on some of film noir’s favorite moral themes\, especially its co
 mplex treatment of the value (and disvalue) of empathy\, integrity\, and m
 asculinity.
