Film Noir Research

Film Noir Research
Film noir is a stylish Hollywood crime drama. Film Noir is not really made any more but there has been some great films made in the past. Hollywood's film noir period is generally regarded as extending from the 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir is known named as a genre now. The hasn't really been any film noir films made know. Film noir is mostly known for their low-key lighting and for the crimes. The term film noir is french for 2black film", which was first introduced to Hollywood films by a french critic Nino Frank in 1946.


Film noir is not really mentioned in the world of cinema right now but some companies have brought back film noir back into the 21st century. The video game industry has taken film noir into a hole different level bringing in a whole different perspective of the genre. Two games that took advantage of film noir is Rockstar Game's L.A.Noire and 2K Czech's MAFIA II. Which was set in the same time period, 1940-1950. Both the games had different plots for the game they were a Third-person shooter, action-adventure.

Most recently Warn Bros released a film noir film called Gangster Squad which was based " Tales from the gangster squad by Paul Lieberman". The film was released in January 2013 and was successful but still film noir is not one of the major genres in the film industry.
