neo-noir conventions

Neo-noir conventions refer to modern films that incorporate the distinctive style and themes of classic film noir. These include a dark, moody visual aesthetic with high-contrast lighting, shadowy scenes, and urban settings. Themes often involve moral ambiguity, crime, corruption, and complex, flawed characters. Neo-noir also features a sense of psychological tension, femme fatales, and cynical narratives. While paying homage to the 1940s and 1950s noir, neo-noir updates these elements with contemporary storytelling, technology, and social issues, creating a darker, more introspective look at human nature and moral complexity.
