Neo Noir

The genre film noir extends to neo noir. This is the definition:
  1. Neo-noir is a style often seen in modern motion pictures and other forms that prominently utilise elements of film noir, but with updated themes, content, style, visual elements or media that were absent in films noir of the 1940s and 1950s.
To gather more of the genre in a previous lesson we looked at different clips from Neo Noir films. We looked typical features of the noir genre and spoke we about how the film interpreted it and how it used the untypical that sets it apart from noir

The first Neo Noir extract we watched was from the 1974 film of The Red Riding Trilogy. These are the typical noir features in the extract and the untypical.













We also watched an extract from Blade Runner (set in the future).












The last extract we watched was from the 1996 film Bound
