In her latest book, Night Passages, Elisabeth Bronfen maps a fascinating cultural history of the night in philosophy, literature and movies. She joins Anastas Michos, the cinematographer behind neo-noir thrillers such as Untraceable, Perfect Stranger and Cadillac Records, to discuss the narrative uses of nocturnal space—from crime and corruption to the exploration of irrational desire—and the lighting techniques involved for best effects.
