SPOILER NOTES:

Film Noir is a genre of films. The classical period typically begins with John Houston's Maltese Falcon in 1941 and ending with Orson Welles's Touch of Evil in 1958.

And it was French film critics that coined the term Film Noir. The French being under Nazi occupation didn't have access to a lot of American films for years. And then after the war the received a bulk of them from America. And they watched a whole bunch of these films and they were like, this is a new type of crime film. Typically with characters that are morally ambiguous, the lacking of values and so they came up with the term Film Noir because it gave them this kind of like dark feeling.

Neo Noir are films made outside of the classical period, typically in color. A classic Neo Noir is Chinatown.
