<i>film noir</i>, is the French term (literally "black film" or "dark film") for American black-and-white films of the 1940s and 1950s, which always seemed to be set at night in an urban landscape, with a suitably dark subject-matter, although the treatment is often sexy and glamorous as well as stylised and violent. The genre was informed by a slew of crime novels, with <a href="/wiki/Raymond_Chandler" title="Raymond Chandler">Raymond Chandler</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/The_Big_Sleep" title="The Big Sleep">The Big Sleep</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Farewell,_My_Lovely" title="Farewell, My Lovely">Farewell, My Lovely</a></i> being notable examples. Being often typified by crime thrillers with a private detective hero and a succession of attractive, deadly heroines, the classic noir style may also be called "detective noir". </p><p>From this derive various related and subverted terms, such as <a href="/wiki/Neo-noir" title="Neo-noir">neo-noir</a> (resurgence of the form in 1960s and 1970s America); the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a> noir (exploiting the tension and paranoia of the nuclear age); <a href="/wiki/Blaxploitation" title="Blaxploitation">blaxploitation</a> films, which some called black noir; <a href="/wiki/Nordic_noir" title="Nordic noir">Nordic noir</a>, set in the stark landscape and apparently bland social environment of the Scandinavian countries, yet revealing a dark legacy of cruel misogyny, brutal sexual repression, and murder. From the same source comes cyber noir, also called tech noir, which may deal with intrigues and criminal enterprises in either the real world of computers and high technology, or in the virtual landscapes of a techno-generated underworld – and sometimes both. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Science_fiction_noir">Science fiction noir</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tech_noir&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Science fiction noir"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Beginning in the 1960s, the most significant trend in film noir crossovers or hybrids has involved science fiction.
