The defining trend of the 1940s, film noir has long been a pillar of cynicism and style in cinema. Key genre tropes typically include winding and enigmatic crime cases, rich shadowy imagery, a pervasive sense of fatalism, and set character archetypes like the jaded hard-boiled detective and the dangerously seductive femme fatale. Neo-noir is an evolution of the genre that implements a more refined eye for systemic issues like corruption and power while also, usually, flaunting a more vivid color palette and adhering to those integral qualities of cynicism and storytelling.
