The Neo-Noir 90s

The Neo-Noir 90s was an interesting article showing how the noir movement had evolved in film, and then devolved. While it's stylish, dark, and filled with twists and turns, producers today don't like doing such films. They feel there is no profit involved because it is a dead art form. Even though a recent noir film had some success (L.A. Confidential), there is a feel that only other directors, producers, critics, and film buffs like noir films anymore. With that said they don't want to spend money on a film that possibly wouldn't reach a big audience. While they can be exciting they are viewed as to old of a product to atract the masses.
