Film noir has rules: they’re rules about plot and character; about femmes fatales and doomed guys in fedora hats; about stark lighting that slices up the image into shards of black and white. The genre was a child of war, a cinema of darkness and suspicion suited a Hollywood working under the blackout conditions and power-rationing imposed after Pearl Harbor. Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) is usually held to be the first example (though it took critics in Paris to give the genre its name). After the war, the genre didn’t seem out of touch with a postwar America of disillusioned ex-servicemen who had returned to find that their wives had managed pretty well without them; and a culture ready to listen to the portentous words of Senator McCarthy. 　　The film critic and journalist Matthew Sweet guides you through the rise of Film Noir, and explains how and why it all came to an end in the 1950s, yet somehow the genre retains a little magic that we can't help but hark back to from time to time.

小林政广的影片故事背景都在北海道，他认为北海道有其他日本地方没有的寂寥感与茫然感，荒凉的风景般配于对人心的描写。以北海道广大雪景为背景，雪白的画面中，只看见房屋和人，使人的存在和关系更获强调。由于黑色电影(FilmNoir)般作家性较强的作风和独特的拍摄手法，他被称为“作家导演”。其作品当中可看出特吕弗电影的影响，而他自己也予以承认。

TAKE A WALK ON THE DARK SIDE WITH THIS FASCINATING LOOK AT THE FILM NOIR GENRE! 　　Film noir is a hardluck loner, a slumming angel, a look that can kill. It is mood and menace, small budgets and big imagination. It is bleak, unsparing, a slap across the beezer, take it and like it. It is a parade of trenchcoated PIs, tough cookies, schemers, weasels and moneymen. And it has a single star. "The star of film noir is fate," explained Carol Littleton (editor of Body Heat). "It just doesn't get a screen credit." 　　Clips from noir classics and little-known gems, plus interviews with morden noir aficionados like directors Christopher Nolan and Frank Miller, writers James Ellroy and Brian Helgeland and others shape this multifaceted exploration of the movie style that grew out of the hard realities of post-World II life. What is the difference between crime stories and noir? What was the first film noir movie? The answers are intriguing. And noir to the core. Take it and like it.
