Enrico Marini’s Noir Burlesque succeeds at its task of staging a gritty, lush noir in the classic hardboiled style. The plot is a familiar nightmare – but isn’t this how a noir tale is supposed to be? Noir doesn’t exactly operate on the principle of novelty, although many of its most innovative entries certainly impress (e.g., Robert Altman and Leigh Brackett’s The Long Goodbye [1973], Njami Simon’s Coffin & Co. [1985], or Robert Coover’s Noir [2010]). The cross-genre range of noir (cinematic or literary) is actually very wide: detective stories, gangster flicks, police procedurals, social melodramas, underworld tragedies, not to mention the many postmodern variations that necessarily attend every interesting aesthetic form. Nevertheless, many of the classical elements are remarkably constant throughout: a probably doomed protagonist (although the doom is tonal, not necessarily forthcoming), a darkly empowered femme fatale (whose power is typically purchased at the cost of her happiness or heart, and, sometimes, her life), a fatalistic, usually urban background of corruption, vice, and violence. Above all, noir is a matter of style. And Noir Burlesque has that in buckets...: https://mothhovel.wordpress.com/2024/04/10/enrico-marini-noir-burlesque-2023/ Une très bonne BD noire, avec des truands testostéronés, du sexe, des coups et des gueules cassées, des flingues et des entourloupes. Un graphisme magnifique en noir et blanc rehaussé par du rouge avec un grand talent. Comme un hommage soigné au genre, tant pour le dessin – avec des femmes courbes et des hommes à la mâchoire d’enclume – que pour le scénar un peu ridicule et caricatural. Slick vient payer ses dettes à New-York après un séjour en Europe. Mais voilà, ce n’est que le premier tome. Quelle déception lorsque je suis arrivé à la fin qui n’en était pas une. Il faudra patienter. Dommage ! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

After a hold-up gone wrong, Slick finds himself deep in the red with local mafia boss Rex. But that's not the only thing setting them at odds: they also have their sights set on the same woman, the beguiling Caprice. She's engaged to Rex and headlines his club, where she thrills the nightly crowds. She's off-limits, but Slick has never been one for limits. And he has unfinished business with Caprice, who was once his own sweetheart before the war pulled them apart. After all these years, there's no love lost between them, but that doesn't mean the old spark isn't alive... And now, they're playing with fire. Taking inspiration from the Hollywood noir films of the 1950s, Enrico Marini delivers a gritty graphic novel combining crime, love, jealousy, and betrayal. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
