of films are often closer to the spirit of the B series of
the 40s an 50s by the relative freedom of scripts and
filming, leading to fast, violent, dark films with stories
close to nihilism. They are mostly American color movies, and
generally with more substance than the Tarantino
films."
While I think there's a lot of substance underneath the style
of Pulp Fiction (less so in many of his others, not that I
don't still really enjoy them), I agree with your
periodization of neo-noir. However, how about some titles?
This isn't so I can argue with your conclusions, but to see
if there are any I haven't seen and should.
