Film Noir III: Neo-Noir (Post Noir)

Neo-noirs, or 'post noirs', are modern era noir films refashioned for present-day sensibilities. Starting in the 1960s, most neo-noirs attempt to re-establish the moods and themes of classic noirs and in a way reflect or comment on earlier noir films - a great example of films as film criticism.
