Film Noir, like SciFi, is a fantastically under-appreciated genre. Tonight I watched an excellent noir film entitled "Brick."
The film begins with Brendon, a high school loner who is trying to track down the killer of his ex-girlfriend. I really enjoyed the cinematography of the film, which somehow elevates high school drama to previously untold heights. Each clique has its own unique vision, complex motivations, and secrets. Brendon, the protagonist, is forced to push his way into these bizarre worlds in an attempt to uncover the truth.
On top of great cinematography, the film has a unique dialogue of slang. The writers created a very stylish suburban dialect, like a white Ebonics . Although I guessed many of the twists before they were sprung, it was an excellent production, worthy of my recommendation.
