I really had no idea what to write about on this one because I was absent when they watched the documentary Film Noir but I will just post here the facts that I got about it, over the internet. T__T
Film noir comes from the french that means "black film". Most of the films are about crime and sex in general. It was inspired by German Expressionist films that uses dark background and the topics are also about crimes.
This film movement started in the 1940's and ended at the late 40's.
There are two important elements in a Film Noir, one is the chiascuro lighting, it is the use of lights and shadows dramatically and the femme fatale, the female in the film that will seduce the protagonist that will cause the protagonist to his fall.
Femme Fatale |
Some of the well acclaimed Film Noir movies are, Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep, The Maltese falcon and Laura.
I found a copy of A foreign affair, 1948, you can watch it here! :)
That's all folks for today. :D It is hard to be absent in a 3 hour class, for you will miss too many good lessons.
