ESSAY ON: Film Noir

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: An 8 page overview of this cinema style. Though the term “film noir” is French, the style originated in America largely following but partially in conjunction with World War II. Literally meaning “black film,” the style was named by French film critics for its use of monochromes of color, lack of bright light and often darkness within and among the characters. The paper uses Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane” (1941) as an example of the physical and psychological dark shadows that the film noir style uses. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
