First, thanks for your enthusiastic review.
I haven't heard of the film before, but now I'll ad it to my "American classis to see" - list. Sounds like really something. 
I don't think I'll watch any noir films in the next months, but maybe I'll catch "Dark City" and "Blade Runner" in theaters in March, and write some notes.
Who said film noir is dead!? Long live film noir!
