Film Noir : A brief examination / documentary

#filmnoir

In this film I will go over the French origins of the term Film Noir. This video offers a look at the genre itself and then profiles 7 Film Noir masterpieces that I highly recommend. If you are a veteran or a newcomer to the genre, I hope this video will broaden your Film Noir horizons and show you some films you might not be aware of.
