Two Examples Of Modern Film Noirs


Sin City, 2005, Frank Miller & Robert Rodirguez
Sin City is an Action/Crime/Thriller film written, It is afilm noir based on Miller's grapic novel of the same name.

The film is primarily based on three of Miller's works: The Hard Goodbye, about a man who embarks on a brutal rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart's killer, The Big Fat Kill, which focuses on a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries, and That Yellow Bastard, which follows an aging police officer who protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer.

Sin City opened to wide critical and commercial success, gathering particular recognition for the film's unique coloring procession, which rendered most of the film in black and white but retained or added coloring for select objects.



Brick, 2005, Rian Johnson
Brick is a 2005 American film noir written and directed by Rian Johnson. Brick was distributed by Focus Features, opening in the United States on April 7, 2006, in New York and Los Angeles. The film's narrative centers on a hardboiled detective story that takes place in surburbia. Most of the main characters are high school students. The film draws heavily in plot, characterization, and dialogue from hardboiled classics, especially from Dashiel Hammett. The title refers to a block of Herion, compressed roughly to the size and shape of a brick.
