After setting down to read crime novels written by Vernon Sullivan and to watch Alphaville I have decided that I will go through more examples of Neo-noir films and literature, for instance:
* Casablanca by Micheal Curtiz (1942)
* The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity by James M.Cain (1970)
This kind of knowledge could be very essential for my story. Modern themes employed in neo-noir films include identity crises, subjectivity and technological problems and their social consequences.
On the other hand the classic period of film noir (the early 1940s and the late 1950s) had a amount of common themes, plot devices and characteristic visual elements, such as low-key lighting, outstanding camera placement and effective usage of light and shadow. Usually the main character was anti-hero, trapped in difficult situation often to make immoral choices
