Style to Burn

           Suffering with style. That's the pithiest description i've come up with to describe film noir. The men and women of this sinister cinematic world are driven by greed, lust, jealousy, and revenge - which leads inexorably to existential torment, soul-crushing despair, and a few last gasping breaths in a rain-soaked gutter. But i'll be damned if these lost souls don't look sensational riding the Hades Express. If you're going straight to hell, you might as well travel with some style to burn.
