NEO-NOIR






As time changed so did Film Noir, it developed into Neo Noir. Neo Noir took the codes and conventions of Film Noir but modernized aspects of the genre; soundtrack, story lines and themes were updated to apply to a new modern audience. Directors now have a lot more freedom to express themes then in the past, this has allowed Neo Noir to include scenes that were possibly too controversial in the past.  Below are examples of a few Neo Noirs from 1970 to present.


Sin City. (2005)

Taxi Driver. (1976)



Pulp Fiction. (1994)

Chinatown. (1974)
Raging Bull. (1980)
Memento. (2000)
Reservoir Dogs. (1991)
