FILM NOIR

Like a tantalizing mirage, film noir haunts modern filmmakers. Noir is the genre of night, guilt, violence and illicit passion, and no genre is more seductive. But the best noirs were made in the 1940s and 1950s, before directors consciously knew what they were doing “We called them B movies,” said Robert Mitchum.

Film noir is not a style in Cinema it is a sub-genre, it presents frequent use of flashbacks and contains intricate plots. The genre was prevalent mostly in American crime dramas of the post-World War II era. 


Early examples of the noir style included dark, stylized detective films such as Lawrence Kasdan’s Body Heat(1981) a film about passion and murder.
