-Thank you very much. -YOU’RE NOT WELCOME!

I want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be. What if this is the best version?

I have endeavored as a woman to present the picture of a woman who was loved and hated, praised or criticized, who has been called traitress, martyr, and even saint, but who has never sunk into oblivion.

Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly such that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. Hollywood’s classical film noir period is generally regarded as extending from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key, black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography. Many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Great Depression. 

The term film noir, French for “black film” (literal) or “dark film” (closer meaning), first applied to Hollywood films by French critic Nino Frank in 1946, was unrecognized by most American film industry professionals of that era. Cinema historians and critics defined the category retrospectively. Before the notion was widely adopted in the 1970s, many of the classic films noir were referred to as “melodramas”. Whether film noir qualifies as a distinct genre is a matter of ongoing debate among scholars.
