Le Jour Se Leve
You Only Live Once
.... films made before the 1940s that had strong noir elements, either in terms of style, content, or both. Noir borrowed its visual palette from German expressionism, with its high-contrast lighting, dramatic shadows, and off-angle, deep focus camera shots. The pulp fiction influence is felt most deeply in noir’s morally conflicted protagonists. Ranging from ordinary people driven to desperate acts to outright sociopathic antiheroes, they remain compelling in spite of the terrible things they do.
