English(English)

NOIR IS A MOOD. A gritty landscape saturated with disillusions and rife with fetishized violence. The protagonist is always conflicted, often amoral, and sometimes even unreliable. Inside claustrophobic set pieces, nihilism and despair collapse down on readers and protagonists alike.
