About this site

This is a wiki about—as you may have guessed from the title—film noir, a widely contested "genre" of sorts (whether it actually is a genre is somewhat up for debate) featuring femme fatales, fancy (chiaroscuro) lighting, and the occasional trenchcoat. Learn about the greats, the admittedly mediocre, the conventions and archetypes, and venetian blinds!
