Noir Confidential

Noir Confidential draws upon the era of filmmaking known as Film Noir. Today, the genre is called Neo-Noir, but the same concepts, tropes, and techniques are used to evoke feelings of inevitability and defeat. The pessimism, distrust, and greed displayed in classic Film Noir movies like “The Maltese Falcon” and “The Third Man” speak to a society racked by geopolitical conflict and economic disparity. All the elements that sparked the Film Noir heyday have returned to haunt society, and a new class of cynical anti-heroes and manipulative Femme Fatales have arrived to exorcise their demons by finding their elusive MacGuffin. Noir Confidential starts the search with the audio version of “The Method,” a hybrid graphic novel written by Jerry Bader and voiced by Marc Bonilla and Heather Graham. To be followed by “The Comeuppance.”
