| Abstract | The scholars' approach is rather formalistic, as they valorize visual style, i.e. the specific use of certain cinematic signifiers, against plot (91). [...]they posit eight stylistic devices or characteristics that constitute film noir: "low-key lightning, claustrophobic framing, shadows and/or reflections, unbalanced compositions, and great depth of field", as well as "urban landscapes, costuming, particularly trench coats, garments with padded shoulders, and spiked heels; and most often rain-soaked environments" (91). In Blade Runner, all of the women are replicants, meaning embodiments of the non-human Other. [...]they are assigned a place outside the Symbolic Order and are therefore persecuted by the law-keeper Deckard, a so-called blade runner. |
