For added effect, play one of these songs while reading the article. Film Noir (literally "black film" in French) is a genre of stylish, gritty crime dramas, difficult to define, but the 1940s and '50s were the classic period. Whether works since then can be accurately classed as Noir is a subject of much debate among film critics. Film Noir, and the literature from which it is drawn, is the progenitor of several modern genres, particularly cyberpunk. Common plots of noir films include murder (and subsequent murder investigations), heists, con games, blackmail schemes, and (mostly) innocent men or women wrongly accused of crime. Use of the double-cross and cigarette smoking are mandatory. Complicated plots may be further convoluted by flashbacks and flash forwards, with the narration tying everything together — assuming we can trust it. Noir, in the classic and stylistic sense, is visually darker than your average gangster picture, playing with light and long, deep shadows instead of bright, documentary-styled camera work. This visual motif is so iconic that homages and parodies are almost universally Deliberately Monochrome, using a transition between colour and black and white where necessary. Scenes are often filmed on location, and night scenes are shot at night. Camera angles are often very creative and unusual, heightening the viewers' sense of unease, adding to the atmosphere. The contrast between light and dark is sometimes used in the cinematography to reflect the difference between the villain and the protagonist(s). It rains most every night in Film Noir; filmmakers admit that this is entirely because at night wet pavement looks cooler than dry. Also, the rain makes it plausible that no one else is around. That said, daytime scenes can be harshly bright. Film Noir is not really a genre in any sense, rather it reflects a tendency in certain American films of the '40s and '50s where crime and gangster stories are infused with an excessive visual style, a modern urban sensibility, and a powerful sense of moral ambiguity. These movies differed from the crime movies of the '30s, the Depression Gangster films such as The Public Enemy (1931) or Scarface (1932), in that criminal behaviour is no longer relegated to gangsters or ethnic ghettos, and the plots don't usually revolve around turf wars or police clampdowns. Protagonists in film noir are often normal people (classically, but not necessarily, a Private Detective) who get involved in crime, and the motivations are no longer just social or circumstantial but psychological and personal. The standard noir plot is, in broad terms, best summed up as centering around a protagonist who, usually by pure chance, is placed in a complex and dangerous situation completely beyond their control where they are pitted against an adversary whose identity and motives are not immediately obvious. The system and the law is usually either apathetic to their plight or is even outright working against them, meaning that they will have to take up the fight and make sense of it all by themselves or die trying. As a style and sensibility, Film Noir was flexible to include hybrids such as the Western-Film Noir (The 1947 film Pursued with flashbacks, Dark and Troubled Past, high contrast black and white lighting and weird Freudian themes), and even the film-noir musical (The Man I Love, Love Me and Leave Me) and in the case of Leave Her to Heaven a Film Noir in technicolor. Trying to explain Film Noir is hard since it's kind of a mix of European cynicism and post-war American angst. It involves a clash between crude pulp fiction narratives and complex storytelling and characterization, which itself derived from emerging psychological research on criminal behavior, as well as wider influences in modern art and literature. The term was first used by French critics (hence the name), and it derives from "Serie Noir", the label of French translations of American pulp fiction, and French imitations thereof, which were highly popular in France at the time. French critics looked at the American crime films from their perspectives of post-Occupation France, which to some extent led them to overemphasize the doom and gloom of American films by projecting their experiences onto their interpretations of these films. Later, American writers when translating these articles into English brought this into Pop-Cultural Osmosis. The mix of European cynicism with American landscape is also borne out in the fact that several directors of films noir — Billy Wilder (who lost his mother in Auschwitz), Robert Siodmak, Fritz Lang, Otto Preminger — were refugees, exiles and emigres from Nazi Germany, being quite active in 1920s Berlin which in many ways was the closest a real-life city came to being the exaggerated City Noir landscape. The lighting in Film Noir was also strongly influenced by European trends, especially German Expressionism, but later after the war, the Italian neorealist films of Roberto Rossellini also influenced it greatly. The subtext of many of these films often dealt with the trauma of the returning Shell-Shocked Veteran (most notably, Act of Violence) and the rising Red Scare and The Hollywood Blacklist which made the working climate in Hollywood highly paranoid and hostile, and this infused the films made in the late '40s. Noir can also be seen as a successor to the Gothic Horror novels of the 19th Century, moved from the decrepit castles of Romanticism and into the city streets of Modernism, and most forms of "new Gothic" - such as Southern Gothic, Southern Ontario Gothic, and especially Suburban Gothic - will have a heavy dose of noir influence. Both traditions typically revolve around some sort of terrible secret coming to light, a general air of unease and paranoia, a feeling of alienation from one's surroundings, and a middle-class distrust of the rich, although noir typically trades in the evil aristocracy for businessmen and corrupt politicians. Noir is also usually more masculine than the female-driven Gothics and more likely to have a male protagonist, although both forms typically rely heavily on sweltering sexual tension - just as the Gothic ingenue was tempted by the Byronic Hero, the noir hero finds himself caught up in the wiles of the Femme Fatale. Like the Gothic Haunted Heroine, the noir hero may be haunted by his own inner demons (though usually of a less supernatural kind), but the closest he can come to her Incorruptible Pure Pureness is being a Knight in Sour Armor. If, when it comes down to it, he does the right thing even when he knows it will cost him greatly (and he might not), the universe will not reward him for his inner nobility - in contrast to the Gothic, which, despite its darkness, is at heart a fairly idealistic tradition where good perseveres and crosses repel vampires. There are no such guarantees in noir. Being a Doomed Moral Victor will have to be enough for the noir hero; as Robert Mitchum says in Out of the Past, "Build my gallows high." Just as solving the mystery is an act of imposing order on chaos, so too is choosing to follow a moral code in an amoral world. The standard Noir landscape is a large, oppressive city (filmed in dark and dusky conditions to create a moody atmosphere). Familiar haunts include cheap hotels, dimly-lit bars, nightclubs filled with questionable clientele (including the Gayngster) whom the lead may intimidate for information, gambling dens, juke joints and the ubiquitous seedy waterfront warehouse filled with crates that Fell Off the Back of a Truck. At night in the big city, you can bet the streets are slick with rain, reflecting streetlights like a Hopper painting. Most of the characters (including the lead) are cynical, misanthropical and hopeless all the way through the film, and may never find true redemption - and if they do, it won't come cheap. It is important to note that the term "Film Noir" was not available to the people who made them in the '40s and '50s. To quote Robert Mitchum once again, "We called them B-Movies." It comes from later audiences and critics who rediscovered these films in revival theaters and clubs and picked up the subtext, visual clues, and other Hidden Depths. Many historians feel that the classic Film Noir genre died when it became self-conscious. Raymond Borde and Etienne Chaumenton cite the MGM musical The Band Wagon (made in 1952), where the final number featured a technicolor parody of a Mickey Spillane crime setting, with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse playing the detective and femme fatale in an obvious send-up. Others feel that Orson Welles' Touch of Evil was the real end, since it was made by the director of Citizen Kane (which, while not a Noir, influenced the lighting and style of several other films noir), and the genre conventions were pretty much stretched inside and outside. They also argue that Noir only worked in a climate of censorship, as the crime genre often fell Beneath Suspicion allowing writers and directors more chances to subvert cliches. Once censorship eroded, Film Noir had pretty much served its purpose and achieved its goals. Attempts to revive this style led to Neo-Noir, which with some exceptions tends to Flanderization. The tone and outlook must be bleak, defeatist, and pessimistic, always suggesting a sliminess beyond what it can show. Nobody gets what they want, and everyone gets what's coming to them. Characters are often armed — revolversnote especially Snubnosed .38's if you're a cop or a dame, Colt 1911s, and if they need More Dakka, tommy guns. Also, no self-respecting Film Noir thug will be seen without his brass knuckles. They'll probably wear a Fedora or trilby hat with a trench coat. Frequently the ending will be low-key and leave no one character happy or fulfilled. Commonly, there is also a great deal of sexual tension between the hero and the female lead; Noir stories are quite risqué. The original Film Noir era followed the Hays Code, so the odds of a female lead removing her clothing are minimal, but even so, she'll often have some fine gams on display and walk with a Supermodel Strut. This applies to modern versions; gratuitous nudity or scenes of excessive violence are hinted at rather than portrayed. It is often what is not seen that adds to the mystery and suspense. Film Noir usually features the Anti-Hero, Anti-Villain, Villain Protagonist, the ambiguity often resting on questions of trust, leading to an atmosphere of paranoia where Poor Communication Kills regularly. The conclusion may or may not tie up all the loose ends, with the major mystery being the morally ambiguous theme of the story. These factors contribute to the widely-held opinion that Film Noir works are among the best artistic works of all time and contributed greatly to the maturity of cinema as an art form. See Film Noir Index for a listing of live-action film noir. Examples from other media are listed below. Not to be confused with the religious conspiracy anime Noir (although that is an example of the genre). |

Sleepless Domain: The title page of "Confluence" is one big homage to the film noir genre and aesthetic, making use of a limited color palette and casting the series' Magical Girl protagonists as a variety of noir archetypes. Among them are Bud as the Hardboiled Detective behind the classic private eye's desk, her partner Harley as the mob muscle in a vest and flat cap, and Undine as the sharply-dressed Dame with a Case in a Little Black Dress. | |

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries looks like your typical Body of the Week show on the surface, but as each episode goes on that veneer is scraped away to something much darker and conspiracy-oriented. The way Phryne loves to pretend to be a Femme Fatale certainly helps. Miss S, its Chinese remake, is slightly less dark but still has noir elements. |

Sam & Max, especially with the character Flint Paper. In the third episode of Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse, Max gets his brain stolen, causing Sam to go on an 'noirish rampage' that turns the game into a Film Noir spoof for a while, even down to the lighting and the camera angles. Highlights include Sam demonstrating his edgy true-to-life violence by slapping people in the face mid-sentence and having a 'Noir' option during conversations which causes him to give a largely incoherent metaphorical description about how amoral and miserable he is. |

Unavowed is mainly Urban Fantasy, but the aesthetic is soaked in the atmosphere of neo-noir featuring constant rain, which of course gives the colored lighting of various businesses the chance to spill on the street, and pretty much each mission sees the player tasked with getting to the bottom of a mystery and then having to make a heavy moral choice at the end. | |

Problem Sleuth, at least setting-wise, plays with the genre and its tropes in part. The bulk of the work is an incredibly silly take on the Eastern RPG, but it's decidedly within a Film Noir framework. And when it does noir, oh, it does noir◊. In a similar vein, Homestuck's Midnight Crew intermission plays with the darker end of the genre's spectrum, just with extra time travel. |

The Castle season 4 episode "The Blue Butterfly" has Castle find the diary of a private eye from 1948, which results in a number of Film Noir-style flashbacks with the regulars taking on various roles in the story - Castle as the detective, Beckett as a nightclub singer, Esposito and Ryan as gangsters and Alexis (!) as a Femme Fatale. We also get Castle doing the monologue and at one point inadvertently swapping the name of the singer for Kate... which results in a Record Needle Scratch drop out of flashback as Beckett looks at him funny. | |

Moonlighting: "The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice" is an extended homage to the genre with David and Maddie dreaming they're in a murder mystery in the 1940s. The crew shot the dream sequences on black and white film to properly capture the feel, and also because the network threatened to override them and air the scenes in color. | |

Dave Callahan of Moonshake loved film noir and, when the band split in half and he was given full reign of it, he infused the band's already moody sound and Urban Hellscape imagery with more prominent jazz elements in an attempt to replicate the genre's aesthetics. | |

Much of The Angaran Chronicles is like this with a hefty, hefty dose of Diesel Punk. The most notable example is the novella Hamar Noir which embodies many of the themes and tropes of Film Noir. Which follows the Hunter Anargrin as he tracks down a serial killing vampire in the slums of the underground city of Valtagan. | |

Shadows of Doubt may technically take place in an Alternate History Cyberpunk dystopia, but its aesthetic is heavily inspired by film noir, including the player character being a private detective investigating murders and doing odd (sometimes questionable) jobs for people with credits to burn. The sparse instances of in-game music even mixes the mournful notations of blues music with synthwave-y instruments. | |

By virtue of evoking late '80s sci-fi movies, Mass Effect 2 evokes this in parts, especially on Omega, Ilium, and the Citadel. Thane and Samara's loyalty missions are even investigations with much less action than the rest of the game (oddly enough, both characters are stoic badasses with philosophical sides). | |

The BioShock series constantly plays with elements of the genre. A dark-yet-stylized and moody atmosphere (not to mention a setting where you aren't quite sure who to trust — or who the real "bad guy" is) permeates the first two, and the third has you play a private detective. Bonus points for the first BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea DLC being a straight-up Noir Episode. | |

Twin Peaks has a heavy noir element to it, with a murder leading to the uncovering of the corruption and moral ambiguity of a seemingly idyllic town. Various noir tropes are given their due in the show, from the dark jazz motifs in the score to various character archetypes. This being a David Lynch series, though, it's filled with nice helpings of surrealism, and it's just as much a Soap Opera with heavy doses of the supernatural. | |

The song and video for "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson is thematically and stylistically in this genre. The song is about a man being wrongfully accused (according to him at least) of sleeping with a woman and getting her pregnant, a woman who he implies schemed this whole thing up to trap him. The video features a City Noir, a Deliberately Monochrome section, and a paparazzo who is dressed like a Private Detective from 1950s movies in the genre. | |

Perri Rhoades' web serial Spectral Shadows has a peculiar planet, Cygnus, that's populated by lots of half-human half-animal creatures, with each town having an Intellectual Property Religion (literally — even if sometimes the religion doesn't correctly match the source material). The town of Noire tries its best to fit this trope, even going so far as to use fossil fuels for vehicles while the rest of the world uses solar power — because in the gangster movies, they didn't have solar power. | |

The Witcher (2009) and its sequel are very noir, even though they're set in a fantasy world replete with witches and golems. It has corrupt, drunken authorities, the drug trade, a conspiracy, several femme fatales, and a jaded, sarcastic anti-hero who's primarily concerned with his own goals. | |

Shaman Blues has a lot of shout-outs to the genre, including a down-on-his-luck detective with problems and first-person narration, his beautiful but clearly troubled ex, and a case police can't be entrusted with. The hero even lampshades Femme Fatale in his head. | |

Last Case: The Disappearance of Amanda Kane is a mostly black-and-white crime drama about a private investigator trying to look for a mission person. The protagonist drinks, has recently lost his partner, and the game has a smooth, somewhat somber accompaniment to the setting (which seems to take place in the mid to late nineties). | |

Disco Elysium is an Urban Fantasy Noir with a 1970s aesthetic and can perhaps best be described as Planescape: Torment meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It is also somewhat of a Genre Deconstruction, turning a critical eye to some of the staple tropes of the genre such as the Defective Detective, the Femme Fatale, and the Asshole Victim, and taking them apart. | |

The Marvel Noir line. Changes to Wolverine, for example, include his signature claws actually being handheld Japanese weapons. Naturally, there's a different version of Logan on the X-Men.

The Good Asian follows Chinese-American detective Edison Hark as he navigates San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1930s and tries to find a missing girl. He soon finds himself stuck in the middle of a powder keg, caught between brutal/racist cops, the agendas of various powerful and wealthy people, a deranged blackmailer, and a ruthless killer out for revenge. To make matters worse, the well-being of everyone in Chinatown hinges on what happens, as any excuse will be used to crack down on residents and curtail their quest for greater civil rights. | |

Watchmen is a menagerie of different genres colliding into one, but many of the bigger bones of its story are influenced by noir, primarily with the character of Rorschach, an unscrupulous, seriously troubled vigilante trying to solve the murder of a retired superhero. Its loose sequel, Rorschach (2020) (a Distant Sequel that doubles as a meta-examination on the namesake character) also carries heavy noir undertones, with heavy emphasis on ideologies and Psychological Horror. | |

In the third episode of Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse, Max gets his brain stolen, causing Sam to go on an 'noirish rampage' that turns the game into a Film Noir spoof for a while, even down to the lighting and the camera angles. Highlights include Sam demonstrating his edgy true-to-life violence by slapping people in the face mid-sentence and having a 'Noir' option during conversations which causes him to give a largely incoherent metaphorical description about how amoral and miserable he is. | |
