Often known as the "black film". The french-term "Film noir" is a film genre about violence, grudges, hatreds, crimes. And it can't come without seduction. This genre was inspired by German Expressionism.
The debate about what the film genre provokes and what is its category is still unresolved. "We'd be oversimplifying things in calling film noir oneiric, strange, erotic, ambivalent, and cruel": this set of attributes constitutes the first of many attempts to define film noir made by French critics Raymond Borde and Etienne Chaumeton in their 1955 book Panorama du film noir américain 1941–1953 (A Panorama of American Film Noir), the original and seminal extended treatment of the subject. They emphasize that these five definitions aren't always equal and present in film noir. Sometimes, it's focused on violence, some dreamlike. There's no accurate category for it.
Film Noirs are always taken during night time, because it contributes more mystery and more impact to a film. The shadows and smokey effects of every scene makes it more dramatic.
