Film Noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize moral ambiguity and sexual motivation. Hollywood's classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940's to the late 1950s.
Film noir is often described as essentially pessimistic that are seen as depicting a world that is inherently corrupt. Classic film noir has been associated by many critics with the American social landscape of the era - in particular, with a sense of heightened anxiety and alienation that is said to have followed World War II.
