Who Can You Trust?: The Thriller in Film and Television (A BFI...

Who Can You Trust? ventures into the pulse-pounding world of the onscreen thriller, a place of danger, desire and deception where you might find yourself caught in a web of political conspiracy, on the run from sinister foreign agents, living in fear of your loved ones, or even doubting your own sanity. Tracing the story of the thriller from its emergence in the silent cinema years, through the stylish twilight of film noir and the shadows of cold war espionage, to the paranoia of the 1970s and the anxieties of the new millennium, Who Can You Trust? explores how the thriller has always expressed our deepest fears, while keeping us gripped in nail-biting suspense. The latest in the BFI's Compendium publications this lavishly illustrated collection of essays includes contributions from Lee Child, Jake Arnott, Iain Sinclair and a host of the finest writers on film. It is brought to you by the team behind Sight & Sound magazine.
