An example of formalism in narrative. Opening minutes demonstrate fundamental elements of noir aesthetic. High-contrast/low-key lighting in urban location, protagonist narrating about past events, his flaws, and introduction of a seductive woman. Note her cigarette which scholars point as symbol of femme fatale's appropriation of masculine power.
“I just feel like, women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it! But I'm... I'm so lonely!”
