MulHolland drive is another example of Neo-noir. It, like red riding, has typical and non typical stuff contained in noir.Typical:
It contains darkened or distilled lighting. Not many heavily lighted scenes.
The scenes are longer, just like in the old noir films.
The plot is about crime. In this case, and attempted murder.
There are a lot of shadows, like people, or just large buildings because it is an urban setting.
Non-Typical:
Although there is a lot of fog around, the characters themselves actually don't smoke, which is very unlike traditional noir.
There is almots a role reversal as the femme fatale is scared, again very unlike traditional noir.
Also, it is not in black and white, but to go completely off the scale when there is colour it's brightened, or more noticable.
This can be seen quite clearly in the first scene in which the background is bright purple.
