Noir Quotes

Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir Picture Quote #1

It’s a noir world. Unfair things happen Picture Quote #1

I think a film noir demands a beginning and an end Picture Quote #1

Expect the unexpected like a chain smoking, hard drinking, monochrome world dwelling Noir Detective Picture Quote #1

I’m not a fan of action movies. I don’t watch many action movies, I don’t have a lot of references except for 70s action movies or cinema noir Picture Quote #1

I don’t know anybody who doesn’t hate being called alt.country. It just sounds like a website. I don’t mind being called Americana, I don’t mind being called country noir, or independent country is fine, but the words alt.country make me insane Picture Quote #1

I’d love to play a femme fatale in a film noir. I’m thinking of one of those roles that Lauren Bacall or Bette Davis might have played. What I wouldn’t like is to suddenly find myself being cast, as many senior actresses seem to be, as the abbess in a convent Picture Quote #1

Noir is where the clarity of moral divisions break down, the black and whites turn into grays Picture Quote #1

Lionel Essrog, the twitching, barking, gabbling narrator of Jonathan Lethem’s new novel, ‘Motherless Brooklyn,’ is no movie-of-the-week novelty grafted onto a noir mystery. Maybe his Tourette’s is a gimmick, but it’s a gimmick with depth, with soul Picture Quote #1

When I first started writing the books in the 1980s, all of the female detectives were flawed in some way because they were based on noir characters Picture Quote #1

Going back to the noir fiction of the 30s, 40s and 50s. It’s very contemporary Picture Quote #1

Crime fiction, especially noir and hardboiled, is the literature of the proletariat Picture Quote #1

In America, they have specialist mystery book stores with whole sections devoted to cat mysteries, golf mysteries, quilting mysteries. It’s a hugely broad genre from the darkest noir to tales of a 19th-century vet who solves crimes, thanks to his talking cat Picture Quote #1

There are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there’s insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that’s where film noir always hits fertile ground Picture Quote #1

There is something missing in a lot of digital filmmaking, something I call poetic reality. That’s something you see played out in film noir, where the technique establishes the mood Picture Quote #1

With a genre like film noir, everyone has these assumptions and expectations. And once all of those things are in place, that’s when you can really start to twist it about and mess around with it Picture Quote #1

I’m into clothes, but in a way that’s related to wanting to walk into a film noir movie. You know, I love to go to vintage stores, but mostly it’s stuff that I don’t have anywhere to wear... I don’t have the life that goes with the clothes Picture Quote #1

Film noir has a mood that everyone can feel. It’s people in trouble, at night, with a little bit of wind and the right kind of music. It’s a beautiful thing Picture Quote #1

I guess what’s most surprised me in most of the reviews is that they don’t seem to get the noir story in the dream sequence, so they analyze it like a straight noir movie Picture Quote #1

The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He’s dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he’s a hero the whole time Picture Quote #1

I always find myself gravitating to the analogy of a maze. Think of film noir and if you picture the story as a maze, you don’t want to be hanging above the maze watching the characters make the wrong choices because it’s frustrating. You actually want to be in the maze with them, making the turns at their side, that keeps it more exciting... I quite like to be in that maze Picture Quote #1

Flawed characters... a ticking clock... morally questionable acts on all sides... moody, evocative art... oh yeah, this the stuff crime noir fans love! Picture Quote #1

Every novel presents a slice of life. A noir policier for example presents one slice, one that perhaps addresses social dysfunction or some sort of pathology, while mine present a slice that is more upbeat and affirmative Picture Quote #1

I got into reading a lot of noir and a lot of thrillers as well, and I really admired the plotting about those and the way that they can surprise you. And obviously to surprise people and to have twists in the tale, you have to plan quite carefully Picture Quote #1

One difference between film noir and more straightforward crime pictures is that noir is more open to human flaws and likes to embed them in twisty plot lines Picture Quote #1

Blade Runner’s just a noir at the end of the day. Rosemary’s Baby is about the fear of having a child and how that gets in the way of a romantic relationship. Or whatever it is, and you add that extra element that blows your mind apart Picture Quote #1
