punctuate the opening credit sequence be a swarthy man have a strange and all too real nightmare . closing in on it dystopic 2054 paris and the film begin to follow a woman into a grungy club and where she and a slavic bartender convene outside on the deck . they toss exclamation at each other to the effect that she owe him more money although she believe she pay it all . another woman obstruct the budding violence and only to have a bitter fight with the woman herself . the initial woman storm out and and she be kidnap . christian volckman renaissance appear to be another one in an assembly line of recent motion capture animate sci fi noir picture and but in spite of whether or not that be essentially true and it tell a neatly arrange and classically unraveling detective story that keep u in the dark in it opening minute and even whilst introduce karas and the hard boil cop we recognize from the beginning a the man awaken from a terrible dream . the rudiment of classic film noir be all hit upon without any anachronistic change and for all intent and purpose . it be in the harshness of it monochrome that volckman french thriller have follow no example . for the film animator and unfettered by the challenge of physical lighting that would normally be face and have be able to begin with a totally black frame and and to affix utter pitch white accord to the action on screen . a they scrupulously imitate the effect of real light source throughout the frame and the distinction of black and white here be full blown without even any of the slight shade of gray to tone with the character less starkly definite moral code and and the outcome be a harsh and judgmental vision of the direction in which commercial civilization be go and sporadically cause to undergo the most blaring and ruthless of illumination . it be the artistic study of film noir take to their visual boundary of it philosophy and and nothing before have ever share quite the same execution of this visual concept . all the character in this decent cyberpunk film seem a if to have be walk off with purely from a gothic comic book in black ink and but all together their physical response and their motion and the nuance of their facial expression look ashore within a clear humanity . normally and film that try out new development in animation allow their technical advance upstage all other facet of production . sin city and for example and leave substance and overall good screen adaptation from it source material to be desire . it may not be mind blow and it may have it narrative convention and it voice over cast may simply be adequate and but renaissance and make for $ 19 million over six year and not only feel like actual noir instead of a rashly pen appropriation and but also be not secondary to all the visual innovation and which be play a if to be incidental . one leave think not so much about how cool it be when karas be evade bullet shoot through a crowded glass parisian street and but more about it ponderance of life and death and how life tragedy and such a death and make life meaningful .
