Film noir

Japanese: フィルム・ノワール(英語表記)film noir
Film noir
The term "noir" comes from French and originally meant "dark film" (as opposed to "rose"), but it is an American film term referring to American crime movies or hardboiled-detective films. The term "noir" (dark) came to be used as a homage to American crime thriller films, after the famous series of crime mystery novels "Serie Noir" (Dark Series) published by Gallimard in Paris in 1945 and edited by Marcel Duhamel.
