With a decidedly flat critical reception, Reminiscence was a bomb at the box office, too, taking in only $2 million at the opening; its future on streaming was unclear. Commentators cite flat characters, a buried conflict, and a pointless plot as reasons for their negative reviews, but these criticisms make me wonder if they’re familiar with the noir genre in the first place. Translated from French as “black film,” the film noir genre is shot through with existentialist cynicism, putting this film squarely in its camp.
