ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Neo-noir

Neo-noir is like a puzzle game with dark and mysterious stories. It's a type of storytelling that borrows from old mystery movies from the past and makes them new and shiny with lots of twists and turns. Neo-noir films have a lot of darkness, crime, and mystery, and often feature antiheroes who try to solve a puzzle, usually a crime. It's like putting together a puzzle for grown-ups, but with bigger emotions and fewer happy endings. Think of it like a fun but scary movie that will make you think about life and what you would do in difficult situations!
