A world where every femme is fatale, a world where heroes wear their flaws like hand-me-down medals, where best laid plans always go awry. Indeed Noir is moralistic : but beyond the fairytale world of good princes and evil witches, beyond a christian world of heaven and hell : these are tales for a fractured world of dimly-lit rooms and doomed schemes. Real redemption is rare.
