Noir

Noir is a genre of crime film or fiction characterized by cynicism, fatalism, and moral ambiguity.

Neo-Noir

Neo-noir is a style often seen in modern motion pictures and other forms that prominently use elements of film noir, but with updated themes, content, style, visual elements or media that were absent in film noir of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

Bleakest noir

I’ve been getting a little too over confident lately and need to plant my feet back on the ground. I feel like something entirely bleak and hopeless will do the trick- give me your best recommendations. Anything will do- movies, books, comics, plays, etc.

In case you haven’t been following along

Incase you haven’t seen on our Instagram, the first film of our 5 film series for Noir-Vember was Laura (1944). Any ideas as to what film #2 is? We have some extra clues on our Instagram if you’re interested!

Young Adult Noir

Sometimes you gotta revisit a book you never read as a kid because it was published when you were already in high school. Really fun. Noirvember in full bloom.

I need help looking for a specific noir film!

Hello,

I'm looking for a film I watched a while back, I think it was quite graphic for it's time.

I remember a woman being murdered by a man in her kitchen in one of the scenes.

The movie was from the 1940s - 1950's, English language.

Edit : I could have mixed this up with another film from the same era, but there's a plot with a marriage but the husband turns nasty shortly after and just wants to steal an inheritance or a family business?

FOUND : BORN TO KILL 1947.

Any ideas?

Thankyou!

Noir recommendations with sassy main guy?

I’m looking for modern noir games, books or comics with the hardboiled detective saying sassy stuff all the time, so sassy that I will exhale amused puffs of air through my nostrils. I’d appreciate any recommendations no matter how obscure :)

I really liked Philip Marlowe, the Kyle Hyde saga, and Tails Noir even though the ending was horribly bad.

Edit: Thanks so much for all the suggestions, I’ll be reading all of them.

He knew that one fatal day, he would head down a blind alley or run into a house with no back door and it will end. But until that day he'll stay on the move always looking over his shoulder...
