In this episode, Marisa and Aric examine the legacy of Neo-Noir through six films that both represented and reinvented the genre. They also discuss the genre's conventions and how they evolved from the Film Noir movement of the mid-20th century.
On the list is Walter Hill's THE DRIVER (1978), the ultra-cool car chase thriller that has inspired numerous getaway driver films after it, John Dahl's THE LAST SEDUCTION (1994), a sinister straight-to-tv film that made waves with Linda Fiorentino's tour de force performance, David Lynch's LOST HIGHWAY (1997), the nightmarish noir not for the faint of heart, Carl Franklin's DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS (1995), a tale of the underworld of 1940's Los Angeles, Stephen Frear's THE GRIFTERS (1990), the Martin Scorsese produced film about a group of con artists that leaves the viewer questioning just who really is conning who, and NEW JACK CITY (1991), a noir that follows the rise and fall of drug lords during the crack epidemic in 1980's New York City.
