Emerging out of post-WWII pessimism, film noir developed a signature look and feel as filmmakers began to address more serious, and sometimes scandalous topics like death and dishonesty. Featuring stark lighting schemes and hard-boiled characters, film noir offers viewers striking imagery and intriguing storylines. To honor the history of film noir, we have curated a collection of noteworthy titles, as well as some neo-noir examples that showcase the evolution of this distinct cinematic style.
