Film Noir Analysis

In this image you can see high key lighting on the man face to show who they are and what they are watching.There is a typical femme fatal that is wearing a provocative dress with gloves with a cigarette in her hand. She's blown the cigarette out on his face which shows that she's got the power in the relationship that they have.Normally the male would be doing this type of behaviour to show that he's masculine and doesn't take orders from the female or they would use there hand to move the smoke out of the way.The woman has also got a glass of alcohol in her hand.This shows me that she isn't portrayed as the typical feminine character females tend to be.The man seems to be smirking at what the lady is doing.This could mean that he knows she's playing games on him or he doesn't mind someone blowing smoke on his face.There is some back-light on the lady to show what she's wearing and she has some top lighting on the side of her face to show the audience what she looks like,even if you cant see her full face.There is also light on the cigarette smoke to show what and who the smoke is affecting.
