A neon-noir that jumps around LA in the 1960s, following a guy trying to find his gal; this movie ticks all my personal boxes for what I want to see in a noir film. Visually, a real treat for the eyes, heavily leaning on rich, vibrant neon to paint the characters and their surroundings. The "Vide Noir" scenes are a real treat as well, with some very interesting techniques and visuals I found myself fascinated by. Fantastic set design, great cinematography, and engaging characters. Based on the Lord Huron album Vide Noir(which is fantastic, would recommend giving that and "Lost Lost", their latest album, a listen before watching), the albums really set the scene for the audience and pull you in; the constant references to the band's work pop out and pull at you as you're watching. Any fan of their music will find this film familiar, as their music weaves the scenes together.
For those that aren't familiar with the band's work, but love the neo-noir/film noir generes: Give it a watch, it won't disappoint. I'm excited to see what comes next from the director. Try to see it on the biggest screen you're able to, in the darkest room possible; but be careful, you don't wanna get black-brained...
