Assignment:

According to James Naremore, "...noir itself is a kind of mediascape - a loosely related collection of perversely mysterious motifs or scenarios that circulate through all the information technologies." Using a contemporary (Post-1990) noir media text (film, television series, video game, graphic novel, etc) reference appropriate noir iconography, themes, narratives, characters. Has contemporary neo-noir media betrayed the purity of an original noir style or elaborated/magnified it? Discuss with reference to at least one post-1990s noir media text and feel free to make comparisons with other noir-related media texts (TV, novels, graphic art novels) as you see fit.

The Naremore reading provides several, primarily film, examples of this noir mediascape. Go beyond the reading, to discuss a Post-1990 media text that utilizes the idea of noir in a contemporary fashion. See the example posted to Canvas.
