Noir

Noir is a sub-genre of crime film known for its stark and cynical worldview, morally ambiguous characters, and dark, shadowy aesthetics. Originating in the early 20th century, the genre has been strongly influenced by German Expressionist cinema and French poetic realism. Noir films are often set in an urban landscape and explore themes of disillusionment, corruption, and paranoia. Some popular Noir films include The Childe, Hunt, and Sunset Boulevard.
