FilmNoir
Film noir is a cinematic genre characterized by its dark and cynical portrayal of corrupt and violent urban settings. These films often feature morally ambiguous protagonists, femme fatales, and intricate plots full of deception and betrayal. Elements such as shadowy lighting, voice-over narration, and unconventional camera angles are commonly used to create a sense of tension and suspense. The genre emerged in the 1940s and 1950s in Hollywood, drawing influence from hardboiled detective novels and German Expressionist cinema.
