Episode 44: Give Thanks for Film Noir
The Brattle Film Podcast - A podcast by The Brattle Theater, Ian Brownell, Ivy Moylan, Ned Hinkle, Alissa Darsa
On the occasion of the Brattle's 2021 Thanksgiving program of Film Noir and Noir-adjacent movies celebrating their 75th anniversary, we dive deep into the genre most closely associated with The Brattle. We explore the history of Film Noir, what we each think constitutes a true Noir picture, and why there is so much debate about this distinctive style of filmmaking through a number of movies released in 1946, the year the term "Film Noir" was coined.
