@HamboneMH @lesbianniedsn I should add that film noir is considered a time period that technically started in 1940 and ended with the release of Touch of Evil in 1958. Anything that fits the noir template after that, color or black & white, could be called Neo-noir.

You have to go back to the 1991 movie “Europa” to find a Lars Von Trier film with a male character as the principle lead. It seems to me that by making “The House That Jack Built”, a movie about a male serial killer who primarily kills women, who delivers a speech about how men are always the true victim because they are always assumed to be the violator, that von Trier is making a choice and saying something very critical of modern man. I think that von Trier has been incorrectly called a misogynist because of the way he depicts women in his films. I actually think he invokes a feminist approach to his work, using the female lead character to try and show how a human being is supposed to behave, and how the rest of the world is the reason those feelings, emotions and truths are abused and ultimately exploited. People mistakingly think that his use of satire and melodrama are an encouragement and endorsement of the negative consequences his female characters generally meet in the end, when in reality it all points to his deep understanding of the tragic nature of the good being punished by the bad. And “The House That Jack Built” finds him reaching the pinnacle of that painful point, and driving it through the heart of the modern era. I really loved the movie!

A closer look at the patches displayed in the ABC News report on Ukrainian veteran Ruslan Knysh:

* SS Galicia (blue shield, golden lion, three crowns): Insignia associated with the 14th Waffen-Grenadier Division of the SS, formed in 1943 under Nazi Germany. The lion also has older Galician heraldic origins.
* AZOV (vertical blue-and-white patch): References Ukraine’s Azov military movement, which originated in 2014 and has documented roots in far-right nationalist circles.
* Wolfsangel / Idea of the Nation (angular insignia): A symbol associated with the early Azov movement. The Wolfsangel was also used by Nazi formations and later neo-Nazi organizations. The precise identity of the winged patch is uncertain.
* Svastone (black patch, lower right): Ukrainian clothing brand documented for its connections to neo-Nazi and white-supremacist subcultures.
* Donbas (orange sunburst): References the Donbas region and possibly the Donbas volunteer battalion. The sunburst alone is not evidence of Nazi symbolism.
* Killhouse: Refers to Killhouse Academy, a military training organization associated with Ukraine’s Third Army Corps.
* Tryzub (gold Ukrainian trident): Ukraine’s national coat of arms, with medieval origins. Not inherently an extremist symbol.
* Community Guard (Громадська Варта): Appears to identify a Ukrainian civic or volunteer organization. Exact affiliation unconfirmed.
* Red-and-black hooded fighter: Nationalist-themed imagery. The colors have historical associations with Ukrainian nationalist organizations, but this particular patch remains unidentified.
* White stylized skull: Unidentified unit or morale insignia. A skull by itself does not establish a neo-Nazi connection.

Context: Knysh reportedly served with Ukraine’s Third Assault Brigade, which has historical connections to the Azov movement. The patches appear in footage associated with Killhouse Academy.

Several of these symbols have documented far-right or Nazi historical associations. Others are ordinary Ukrainian military or national imagery.
