Neo - noir

Neo- noir,( from the greek neo, which means new) is a contemporary notion from the original film noir, which updated themes, which are still based around the original film noir. Things like visual elements, content and most importantly, colour. It re-defines film noir in the sense that the elements of the film are the same, but with a new spin of conventions added to it. Its something different, which keeps the fans of noir interested. Sin city is probably the most famour of neo - noirs. Relased in 2005, its famous for its art work. It is based heavily on old film noir movies, with the plot, voice overs and visuals. Black and white are the sole colours throughout the film, but theres also bursts of red, yellow and blue in some scenes. The bright colours are used for certain charecters in the story.
