What Is Neo-Noir? | Netflix

[@palsp666]

*Ryan Gosling's thumbnail* Netflix knows exactly how to get our attention

[@sus6788]

For real

[@rhythmoriented]

Drive (2011) is a cinematic masterpiece, and critics are finally calling it the best film of that year. Third watch last week, and I’m still seeing new things in it. Gosling’s facial expressions, the cinematography, the electronic score and Refn’s direction. It’s f*cking perfect.

[@palsp666]

[@adamkapetanakis1975]

Drive is the perfect example of a neo-noir arthouse film!

[@MMAGamblingTips]

Adam Kapetanakis I’ve never seen it, has Ryan gosling though so it’s going to be good. Right? Is it on Netflix do you know and what is it about in short?

[@johnathonhaney8291]

@@MMAGamblingTips It's about a guy who's a stunt driver by day, a getaway man by night. He's emotionally isolated (I personally think he's somewhere on the autism spectrum, though I get shouted down when I bring that up) but he gets involved with his neighbors in a way that leads to various tragedies. Oh and it also has Brian Cranston.

[@xLightcrystalx]

From what I remember drive isn't a neo noir. There's no femme or homme fatal

[@doctorlove3536]

Adam Kapetanakis its almost as perfect as blade runner

[@PictureProductStudio]

@@xLightcrystalx a) while it is an important element it could be absent from the movie whatsoever, which was the case even for classic film noirs (quite a few classics such as The Hithc-Hiker lack major female characters whatsoever) and b) technically, Christina Hendriks' character is a femme fatale.

Love that they mentioned Brick. If anyone still has doubts about Rian Johnson, they should see that!

[@penske_material]

I like that movie and still think he's a horrible writer. No one is doubting his directorial skills, but he can't write. Even he sort of admitted it once by saying he's lazy with his writing, how anyone can still defend that aspect of him is beyond him. Give him someone else's script, and he'll give you something great, like Breaking Bad. His own scripts? Well, they keep getting worse, Brick was better than Looper, Looper and etc..

So basically Noir and Neo-Noir are just cinematic versions of depression.

[@NONPOINT420]

More like the dark side of the human mind that provokes thought and discussions. Which makes it seem like depression lol

[@CrookedStepsHardHeaded]

Well said

[@psibrunojusto]

Was this a joke? Not really. It just elaborates on the immoral side of things, things society prefer no to talk about. Actually, depression would be Neo-Noir exactly because is Taboo.

[@jacobl7451]

Sort of. I found them therapeutic to depression. Neo-noir films explore darker themes that also happen to be realistic. Gives a sense of “oh so nothing is wrong with my worldview. maybe this actually is how things are”. Obviously they are still movies…an exaggeration of reality.

[@wesleyvinicius4485]

Suggestions for the ones who want to know better this exceptional movie style: Taxi Driver, Chinatown, Touch of Evil, L.A. Confidential, Seven.

[@johnathonhaney8291]

I actually consider L.A. Confidential (RIP Curtis Hanson) anti-noir. Hanson deliberately went against the noir style in terms of staging and lighting, opting for naturalistic on both. And there's the grounding in historical period details that go against the haziness of most noir and neo-noir.

I really enjoy the coloring in Neo Noir but at the same time it gets me distracted from the things that make the plot noir. There was a comment made about how the Korean audience doesn't really favor Noir when Real (2017) came out and wondered why that is. Are there other countries like that and if so is it because of the cinematography style or because of the things that a noir story usually has?
