In order to understand and respond to the re-surfaced genre of Neo-Noir, we must understand the common forms and conventions of the classic noir and find similarities and differences with the two.
Classic Film Noir
- Film Noir visual motifs (rain soaked streets reflecting harsh neon, etc)
- Low-key black-and-white visual style (Having roots in German Expressionist cinematograohy).
- Voice-over narration
- Urban claustrophobia
- Narrative of crime fiction (that emerged in the United States during the depression.)
- 'Private eye' & 'Femme Fatale' = characters indentified with the classic Film Noir
