Noirvember Film Noir Fest
Each November, film aficionados celebrate Noirvember Film Noir Fest. November is the perfect month for this as the weather often matched the dark mood of Film Noir.
Film noir is one of the defining cinema styles. Current events and politics heavily influence this style. Some of the themes explored in film noir are Postwar anxiety and societal malaise, Guilt and dread, Psychoanalysis and trauma, Criminality and the limits of rational investigation, Existential despair, The inability to separate truth from lies, and The role of women in postwar society (TCM Presents Into the Darkness: Investigating Film Noir, Richard L. Edwards, Ph.D.). It can be argued that the USA may be headed into another noir phase following the 911 attack.
As it becomes darker and colder in November it is time to sit back and enjoy classic film noir as a part of your own Noirvember.
