neo-noir

Neo-noir is a modern style of film, literature, and art that revisits the themes and visual style of classic film noir from the 1940s and 1950s. It often features dark, morally ambiguous stories, complex characters, and a gritty, atmospheric look with stark lighting and shadow contrasts. Neo-noir explores themes like corruption, existential despair, and moral ambiguity, updated with contemporary settings and issues. It maintains the moody tone, tension, and sense of cynicism while using modern technology and storytelling techniques. Essentially, neo-noir reimagines the noir aesthetic and thematic elements for a current audience.
