and yet there is the suspicion and possibility of murder in
Blow Up and the threat of it in Knife in the Water that in
part create the minatory atmosphere. and both films deal with
transgression of social morality (fidelity in knife in the
water and decadence/promiscuity in Blow Up).
i can't think of any noir stories/films that i've encountered
that have no concern with transgression of some kind.
