Najbolji neonoar filmovi – Top 151

 

Nakon klasičnog perioda film noara, koji je trajao dve decenije – tokom četrdesetih i pedesetih godina XX veka, perioda u kojem su nastajali mračni krimići puni saspensa, mada zauzdani striktnim žanrovskim pravilima, počelo je novo doba za ovaj filmski pravac, doba neonoara, i ono traje i dan danas. Ovi kasniji, ja bih rekao postmoderni filmovi baziraju se na tim rigidnim karakteristikama klasičnog noara, međutim zahvaljujući osvešćenim i samosvesnim autorima oni su distancirani i oslobođeni kroz savremeni pristup, pristup subverzivniji, širokoumniji i, samim tim, inkluzivniji prema postojećim etabliranim žanrovima, pa ih je teško svrstati u strogo definisane pojedinačne žanrovske fioke. Otuda je pravljenje liste najboljih neonoar filmova mukotrpan posao ulaženja u sitna crevca i prevejavanja neonoara od „prljavštine” u vidu psihološke drame, s jedne strane, i natprirodnog trilera, odnosno horora, s druge. Naravno, neonoar sadrži često i crni humor, ironiju, satiru, ali zbog toga nije komedija u užem smislu reči; sadrži dramske i romantične elemente, ali nije drama, niti romansa; sadrži i fantastiku, stravu i užas, ali u svojoj biti nije ni sajensfikšn, ni horor. Zapravo, neonoar koristi vizuelni stil i teme klasičnog noara, ali im pridodaje moderni senzibilitet koji se ogleda prevashodno u otvorenom prikazu nasilja i seksa, ali i ironičnoj vizuri kroz koju on taj prikaz projektuje. A da se ne bih ponavljao, tj. ponovo navodio osobine „crnog filma”, otidite na OVO mesto i tamo ćete dobiti potrebne informacije, ali i videti listu najboljih klasičnih noar filmova, što će biti dobra uvertira za predstojeći popis najboljeg što nam je ponudio neonoar.

Za listu najboljih neonoar filmova selektovao sam ostvarenja nastajala od 1960. godine pa sve do danas. Trudio sam se da u poplavi filmova ovog široko definisanog pravca ne uzimam samo američke ili holivudske filmove, dakle one nastale tamo gde je noar i rođen, već i sve druge, filmove iz celog sveta, koji, namazani svojim lokalnim koloritom, još više šire stilski portfolio. Pritom sam se trudio da razlučim neonoar od njemu srodnih žanrova i tako prikažem samo filmove u kojima dominira noar paradigma, dok se elementi tipični za druge stilske pravce i žanrove u njima mogu javiti tek sporadično. Zbog velikog broja kvalitetnih neonoar ostvarenja prinuđen sam da prikažem samo one zaista najbolje. Svrstao sam ih u četiri grupe i poređao od najlošijeg (najmanje vrlodobrog) ka najboljem, što bi bio raspon u ocenama od 3+ do 5. U prvoj grupi (vrlo dobri filmovi) nalazi se skoro osamdeset filmova, ali kako raste rejting, tako se i kvalitetne grupe smanjuju svodeći se tek na tuce izuzetni filmova i tuce remek-dela. Očekujem od vas da ispratite listu i iskomentarišete je navodeći, eventualno, i neke vrhunske filmove ove vrste koje sam ja ispustio. Svaka kritika je dobrodošla, pa prihvatam i prigovore na moj zakucani poredak. Možda on tako deluje, nepobitan, ali, verujte mi, polomio sam se sastavljajući ovu listu, tumbajući naslove napred-nazad, gore-dole. Naravno, konačan poredak treba shvatiti kao rezultat mog trenutnog stanja svesti i sticaja raznoraznih okolnosti.
