Guys, do you all consider these "noir"? No femme fatale though...

The second shot could be a great still from film noir like "The Killers".
That could be Sam working in the diner kitchen.

think like Ida Lupino or Nicholas Ray and you're halfway there. or, go see some movies by folks like them. you'll get the idea rather quickly.

One of those threads on RFF one can read (or rather watch) over and over.. Thank you all!
Anyway, I'd like to repeat the buzzarkid's question about development times for 100ISO films exposed at ISO400 - could any of you darkroom magicians give a hint to us novices how to develop thus exposed rolls?

I am well aware of Massive Dev Chart, but it seems to list only sort of normal development combinations, not these insane, ehm, sorry, more artistic I wanted to say..

From your first post, I thought you are asking developing time for 100 rated film exposed at 400 speed (2 stop pushed).That is covered in massive dev chart.
If you are talking about intentionally "bumped" contrast and/or more pronounced grain, try more frequent agitation cycle/rotation. My personal favorite is regular "pushed" developing time and control the final contrast in wet print process.

Taken in Paris, pushed 2 stops to 1600, printed in darkroom. Film Noir enough?

This is a very interesting thread. I learned something about photography here. Now that I am aware of this, I will search for opportunities to create the noir look. Thanks to all the knowledgable bunch here in RFF.

Be warned though - Sátántangó is 7.5 hours long.
I suggest The Man from London (A Londoni férfi) if you wamt to sample his work. Only 2.3 hours long!

I'm a big fan of Béla Tarr - dark and heavy is his starting point.
Thanks for pointing out both the blog and the director. I really have to get my darkroom set-up... soon.
