- Neo-noir is a revival of film noir, a genre that had originally flourished during and after World War II in the United States—roughly from 1940 to 1960. During the late 1970s and the early 1980s, the term “neo-noir” surged in popularity, fueled by movies such as Sydney Pollack’s Absence of Malice, Brian De Palma’s Blow Out, and Martin Scorsese’s After Hours. The French term film noir translates literally to English as “black film”, indicating sinister stories often presented in a shadowy cinematographic style. Neo-noir has a similar style but with updated themes, content, style, and visual elements.
