I'm with you here. Noir almost seems to be beyond good and
evil, about people who have given up on or forgotten them in
their single minded pursuit of something, usually one of the
seven deadly sins: greed, lust, etc. Of course, in most cases
they pay for ignoring those moral values, so maybe the moral
order is renewed.
