Sin City is definitely comparable to the norms of noir; femme fatales being a huge factor in this, as well as crooked cops, crime, murder, criminals and antagonists. It’s the most film-noir-like neo noir to date in my opinion as pretty much all of the codes, conventions and characteristics are covered.
Unlike most neo noirs, the colours used the the movie are heavily influenced by film noir - Sin City uses black and white as it’s main colours; very bright whites and the darkest of blacks. Occasionally, and typically for blood, vivid reds are shows among the black and whites of the film and really provide that contrast and meaning that the audience can engage in.
The film consists of 4 tales of crime from Frank Miller (director)’s popular comic books. A man is fed up of the corrupt enforcement of the law and decides to take matters in to his own hands over the death of a woman named Goldie who meant a lot to him.
