Sin City is a much more modern twist on the Film Noir style. Although not strictly considered a Film Noir, it takes many elements from the style to make the movie instantly recognisable. Here is how Sin City relates to the Film Noir style:
Cinematography & Lighting
Close-ups/ Extreme close-ups
Head Shots
Depth of Field Shots
Shot in Black and white (but with some stand-out colours)
Lots of low-key lighting
High contrast/Deep Shadows
Subject Matter
Multiple Femme Fatales (Highlighted by the colour red)
Multiple male characters who use Guns and other weaponry
Lots of police
Dark Themes (i.e. corruption and peadophilia)
