My love of the ‘hard­boiled­ness’ of the sto­ries aside, the most amaz­ing aspect of these films that cap­tured me as a life long stu­dent of film & pho­tog­ra­phy was the aes­thetic. Dark, brood­ing, styl­ish, strange, sinister…the adjec­tives describ­ing these visu­ally stun­ning films could con­tinue for hours.
