Film Club - Neo Noir

A few weeks ago we were told that the movies we are going to be watching from now on in Film Club will relate to our next module, Graphic Projects.

Today we watched Sin City, a Neo-Noir based on Frank Miller's graphic novel series. I actually have one of the novels on my bookshelf. I really like how the director (Robert Rodriguez), and Miller himself used the novels as the films storyboard.

There are several scenes that match very closely to the origional. A similar approach was used in the making of Watchmen (2009). An adaption of a graphic novel created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

Before the movie started, our tutor again spoke about the idea of film neo-noire and implied that the theme will heavily influence our Graphic Projects work. I can't wait now to get the brief and get going.
