Storia
Sin City is an anthology film set in the grimy, neo-noir world of Basin City, also known as Sin City. The movie is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel series of the same name and follows several interconnected storylines that explore themes of redemption, revenge, and doing the right thing.
The first story, 'The Customer Is Always Right,' centers around Dwight McCarthy (Josh Brolin), a criminal who has a mysterious past. He seeks vengeance against Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro), a psychopath who murdered his lover Goldie (Tamara Feldman).
The second storyline, 'One Night Only,' tells the tale of Marv (Mickey Rourke), an enforcer for a powerful businessman named Manute (Dennis Haysbert). Marv gets into trouble when he kills the wrong man, and soon finds himself on the run from both cops and criminals.
The third story, 'The Hard Goodbye,' follows Detective Hartigan (Ron Perlman) who saves a young girl, Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba), from a paedophile. Years later, Hartigan is released from prison to find that Nancy has grown up into a vengeance-seeking woman after her tormentor's release.
Riassunto
Sin City is a neo-noir thriller anthology film directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, based on Miller's graphic novel series of the same name. The movie is set in Basin City (also known as Sin City), a dystopian metropolis filled with corrupt cops, sexy dames, and desperate vigilantes.
The film explores themes of redemption and revenge through several interconnected stories that follow unlikely heroes seeking to do what's right in a city that seems beyond saving. These narratives are characterized by their dark humor, stylized violence, and stark black-and-white visuals punctuated by bold splashes of color.
Sin City is notable for its faithful adaptation of Miller's graphic novel style, with the film featuring heavy influence from the source material, including its distinctive visual style, minimal dialogue, and episodic storytelling.
