Sin City is a black town, where the night never sets, inhabited by a host the characters in th darkest night. All evil, each in his way:
Marv, sweet beast with a creative talent for the suffering of others;
Kevin, emotional boy who finds the serenity becoming a cannibal, with him there mean spiritual guide the
Cardinal Roark, master of the town;
Dwight charming criminal who indulges his fate and death dispenses with both hands;
Gail, his mistress and queen of prostitute who govern the old town, women who give great pleasure, if it pays well and follow the rules, or a great pain, if you go over the sown; a
Yellow Bastard, who violents and eats little girls, unpunished, hidded by the monster, his father who is the
Senator Roark, and by contrasted only
Hartigan, a cop on sunset path, arranged in carnage to stop and save
Nancy, shy lap dancer. Beings who have a bit human, black soul which blacken already skyline of Sin City, and in the middle all of this black every gesture out of the plan that death itself seems to carry, shines a bright blinding: the great red heart of Goldie, the scarlat blood paid in holocaust and that of Yellow Bastard for the catharsis of Hartigan, green eyes, blue and gold that are only track of a soul behind the weapons. Finally,
Frank Miller decided to put his name in support of a story transposed from comics to film. For those who know Frank Miller, this is th end of an expected duration 20 years: for those who do not know, maybe they think the comics have stuff for kids, just saying that Frank Miller is simply, unquestionably, the king of
Noir of the last twenty years, regardless of any artistic discipline, craft or amusement for everyone who wants to consider. If this film was released in 1991, that it was born, with a very cinematic style, the pages of Dark Horse Comics, today would be different from the language of cinema as we know it: for example, would hardly be proper to make a quote after another, but they would tell stories that begin and end with the opening credits with credits.Today Miller, that from some years, he do not develops masterpiece on paper, became the companions of snacks:
Tarantino and Rodriguez, two smart guys who know very well how much is the debt who have with
Maestro. From the first he did explain a little of marketing, from the second how swich on a camera, has rescued one of his many lofty subjects of the past and has done a wonderful film. If the next time Mr. Miller will have the courage to do it all alone, and he will have care to know how to write, we could really to find in front to a new YearZero.
