It's Noirsville, a visually oriented blog celebrating the vast and varied sources of inspiration, all of the resulting output, and all of the creative reflections back, of a particular style/tool of film making used in certain film/plot sequences or for a films entirety that conveyed claustrophobia, alienation, obsession, and events spiraling out of control, that came to fruition in the roughly the period of the last two and a half decades of B&W film.

Noirsville Clip of the Week
Fallen Angels / Perfect Crimes was a Noir Anthology TV Series that ran on Showtime between 1993–1996 in two seasons Season 1 was called Fallen Angels - Season 2 was titled Perfect Crimes each 30m. Each show began with the exterior of Union Station, Los Angeles, and then went into a very stylistic montage. The one below was from one of the Perfect Crime episodes. I may be wrong but I think I remember reading that season one was shot in Academy ratio, just at the switch to Widescreen so the one year delay was to make the Season two a widescreen program.
