Defining noir isn’t easy to do—and it shouldn’t be. Part of what makes noir such an engaging and enduring art form is its fluidity and adaptability. Perhaps more than anything else, noir is an ethos—one that resists defining. Clues might include bleak settings, a violent tone, tough and cynical characters, eroticism, existentialism, nihilism and of course, darkness—after all, noir means „black“—but noir is so much more, and can be far less. It’s an art form of shadows and should always be partially left in them. Noir is a mind set, a sensibility, a sense of futility, desperation, and isolation.
