A clairvoyant
woman getting flashes of her sister’s murder, sets out to finding the slayer
and stop the crime. In her pursuit, she finds out not just the tumbling
skeleton of her sister but is faced with another spine chilling revelation.
Sounds interesting? Welcome to the world of noir, a film genre that takes
entertainment to a whole new level by exposing you to the nail biting suspense
and leaving you with a restless mind even after the movie is over. Characterized
by the downfall of the protagonist, atmospheric gloom, full blown psychopaths
in disguise, dysfunction, distrust and pessimism these uneasy stories definitely
make for some artistic entertainment.
Here is
a list of 10 movies you should watch to explore that odd streak of emotions
these masterpieces can evoke in you:
1.Blade
Runner 2049 (2017)
Hands down
one of the best neo-noir sci-fi. Director Denis Villeneuve has done full justice
to the franchise with a film that is visually, philosophically, psychologically
moving.
2.Ugly
(2014)
The hunt
for a missing girl gets twisted and becomes nasty, creepy, evil, notorious,
dreadful, lonely and ugly. The film is a story of complex, mostly unimaginable
spectrum of emotions that can move you to the core.
3.Zodiac
(2007)
A mystery-thriller
by David Fincher is a manhunt for the Zodiac Killer who leaves encrypted messages
and taunting letters to the police. Inspired from real events, this movie
leaves your head spinning.
4.Being
Cyrus (2005)
Being Cyrus is absolute DYSFUNCTION! Don’t believe it? Watch it for yourself.
5.Seven
(1995)
Yet
another crime thriller on the list by David Fincher, Se7en is tracking down a
serial killer who uses seven deadly sins as the motive of his killings.
Brilliant performances by Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, John C.
McGinley, R. Lee Ermey, and Kevin Spacey make the film even more gripping.
Still a searing, as it was two decades ago.
6.404:
Error not Found (2011)
Do you
want to spend some time in a room believed to be haunted by its earlier
occupant, who committed suicide there? Experience it through this film written
and directed by Prawaal Raman. The film stars brilliant artists like, Imaad
Shah, Nishikant Kamat, Rajvvir Aroraa, Tisca Chopra and Satish Kaushik.
7. Gone Girl (2014)
Domestic
quarrels, a falling off marriage and the events that follow are not so gulpable,
proves this amazingly executed film based on a novel by the same name.
8.The
Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
A riveting crime drama brushed with lust, ego and superb performances by Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes. You can’t go without watching it.
