Noir...


A dark street, shadows, men and women fighting against their fate... this is for me the essence of film noir.
It's true that film noir deals about many unpleasant subjects: murder, dishonesty, betrayal... However the classic movies we are referring to have a high aesthetic quality and elegance.

The movies we are going to write about in those pages are filled with different characters: private investigators, femmes fatale, outlaws, people escaping form their past or from a nightmare… It all forms a fascinating universe of its own which is worth exploring…
