Film noir* is characterized by narrative and stylistic elements: the protagonist is lonely, sore, nihilistic; visuals, music, sound, mise-en-scène express a dirty, abandoned, violent and unforgiving world. The story builds up a limit situation of someone or something that kindles sentiment in the main character.
The protagonist - half scoundrel, half anti-hero, fully broken person - leave us thinking: what is that that is left after all hope and reason to live is lost? Whatever it is has the power to make us define our existence.
This list is a register of films I watched which relate to this idea.
* My idea of Film Noir is more open than the canon's definition, probably because I was influenced by the variety of recent Neo-Noir films and their expansive themes.
