I believe that this goes without saying. Noir seems to me to
be neither character- nor plot-dependent, but a matter of the
setting. It's the shadow moving beyond the campfire light,
the darkness down the back alley, in the unlit doorway (Third
Man, right?), between the street lights, OR in the woods. Or
for that matter in the unconscious mind, the dark mind of the
Other, the killer.... Death's home, really or
symbolically.
I will stop before I freak myself out on this rainy morning
in London!
