The Neo Noir/Modern
Noir (Post-1964) section lists 91 films made after the
'golden age' of film noir. These films have borrowed from the artistic
glories of the past, but also have embellished the film noir landscape
with their contrasting modern aesthetics (particularly with the use of colour). We have grouped them by decade, and all are American-produced,
except where noted. |
