Our BFF puts together a very in depth talk on 'film noir' and all the black and white goodness, but the category is more than just B&W movies. Take a listen to Melanie, Chanty and Ro dive deep into the moody and mysterious world of FILM NOIR, it's beginnings,, definition and some of the most popular films in the genre.
Here is a list of the films we talked about, most available on YouTube. Check them out:
- The Maltese Falcon (1941) directed by John Huston
- Double Indemnity (1944) directed by Billy Wilder
- Detour (1945) directed by Edgar G. Ulmer
- Sunset Boulevard (1950), directed by Billy Wilder
- Pickup on South Street (1953) written and directed by Samuel Fuller
- Mystery Street (1950) directed by John Sturges
We also touch on some modern films that can be put in the noir category, as we get neo noir, neon noir and some more far out takes like possibly considering Andor as noir? Take a listen to what we said about that!
