Neo Noir

Previously i talked about Film Noir, in this post i am going to talk about Neo Noir.

What is Neo Noir?
Neo Noir is when a film uses elements of a story and characters from a typical Film Noir themes but with updated themes, content, style and visual elements. Some Neo Noir's just put a morden twist on old Film Noir's, however some are filmed in the future.


For example, the British TV series Misfits done a noir themed episode in which one of the main characters, falls for a femme fatale. You can see that this is a Neo Noir as there is a Femme Fatale and a everyman, which he is a bit of an anti-hero, in this episode is defiantly isn't a happy ending. However it's set in Britain instead of America. Also it's not all shot in black and white, only the scenes where we are in the femme fatales point of view. Our main character is black, which you would of never seen in a noir film. more important, there are zombies which makes this neo noir unique in it's own right.
