In the 1990s, North American and British scholars started to re-evaluate film noir and show that this genre was not exclusive to American cinema: in fact, Charles O’Brien revealed that the label “film noir” had first been used in France before the war to describe a group of French films that are more or less the same ones we now identify as “poetic realism”; he then went on to refer to a new tendency in post-World-War-II Hollywood cinema. …”
