'Introduction to Film Noir'
Film Noir (literally "black film" in French) is a genre of stylish crime dramas, difficult to define, but the 1940s and 1950s were the classic period. Whether works since then can be accurately classed as Noir is a subject of much debate among film critics. Common plots of noir films include murder investigations, heists, con-games and (mostly) innocent men or women wrongly accused of crime. The double-cross and cigarette smoking are mandatory. Complicated plots are further convoluted by flashbacks and flash forwards — the narration tying everything together.
Typical Characters:
-Femme Fatale
-Alcoholic
-Detective
-Anti-hero
-Anti-villan
