Film noir (French for 'black film') was first represented with Hollywood crime dramas. This was first applied to Hollywood movies by French critic Nino Frank in 1946. They're known for their high contrast black and white visual style and they are usually melodramatic. The film noir carried out through the 1940s to the late 1950s.
Most moods of the film noir were very pessimistic. Characters were always seen as desperate with a sense of fatalism and menace. Tones are usually bleak with low key lighting.
