Descubre la resurrección del film noir en los años 90 y los clásicos neo-noir que marcaron la década.
Red Rock West (1993)

Lost Highway (1997)
David Lynch was no stranger to the neo-noir genre and Lost Highway was his own tribute to the genre. A jazz musician fears that his wife is being unfaithful, while a car mechanic falls in love with a gangster’s
