Pourquoi les personnages de gang­sters portés à l'écran par le cinéma sont-ils si séduisants, sympathiques ou fascinants ? Pourquoi parvenons-nous si aisément à nous identifier à Michael Corleone, le parrain des films de Francis Ford Coppola, alors que nous réprouvons ses crimes ? Comment le cinéma réussit-il à nous faire aimer l'abject et l'obscène dont nous nous détournons dans la réalité ? C’est à ces questions que ce livre tente d’apporter une réponse en examinant une dizaine de films centrés sur la figure mythique du gangster. Des premiers films des années trente jusqu’aux séries télévisées d’aujourd’hui, il décrit leur paysage conceptuel et les questions qu’ils mettent en scène. Ce paysage et ces questions sont principalement éthiques: d’abord, parce que le film de gangster nous offre un miroir de nous-mêmes, de notre désir de réussir, de faire notre place dans la société ; ensuite, parce que le gangster transgresse les règles de la morale commune mais conserve aussi des principes de conduite. Explorant l’univers éthique du gang fait de codes, de valeurs et de vertus comme l’honneur, la loyauté ou l’amitié, l’ouvrage déploie les principales pistes que le film de gangster suggère comme autant de chemins buissonniers de la morale.

This title features highly original readings that shed new light on familiar movies. It is an unifying and largely original Marxist perspective that offers a fresh look at social relations as expressed in Hollywood cinema. It is a new construction of the category of the crime film, supported by an understanding of the importance of crime and crime cinema in cinema and society as a whole. No society is without crime, prompting Nathaniel Hawthorne's narrator to make his famous statement in 'The Scarlet Letter' that, however high its hopes are, no civilization can fail to allot a portion of its soil as the site of a prison. By establishing the category of crime - by drawing a line between the lawful and criminal, however thin, blurry, or even effectively meaningless the line may in practice become - society offers its own perhaps most consequential self-definition. Film, argues Carl Freedman, is an especially fruitful medium for considering questions like these.
