Film noir - Genre
The genre film noir relates to a stylish Hollywood crime drama which seems to aim specifically to emphasize sexual motivations and a corrupt society. The classic Hollywood film noir period dated from the early 1940’s to the late 1950’s. The general era consists of a low key black and white visual style with variations of camera angles and seems to contain roots in German expressionist cinematography.
