Never understood why it's called a "neo-noir" and not just a noir film...probably because it's a different period. I mean, it's not the colour because Vertigo's in colour and that's often considered an example of film noir.
Yeah, it's mainly just the time period that determines whether something is film noir or neo-noir. Neo-noir also often expands on themes and styles present in film noir.
