I am obsessed with Film Noir. But then youse guys know that. I
go off on tangents and get obsessed with subjects all the time. Starlets of the
1960’s. Hallmark TV. Sinead O’Conner. Trump. So I do a bunch of posts on the
subject. Currently I am jonesing on Film Noir.
Film Noir has been defined as a
style or genre of cinematographic film marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism
and menace. I think of it when I watch those late fifties early sixties TV
shows that I love. Brooding protagonists in cheap shiny suits with skinny ties
sitting in a club listing to jazz while drinking whiskey neat with a blowsy
dame. Getting mixed up in some craziness with sinister overtones.
