Its shadowy cinematography, hard-boiled detectives, glamorous femmes fatales and ambiguous, fatalistic plotlines continue to haunt our imaginations to this day. Yet as a genre it was only defined many years after its most celebrated films were made. In this new course, illustrated with numerous extracts and complete films, we will explore the international origins of film noir (particularly German expressionism and French poetic realism) before diving into the dark waters of classic American noir in the 1940s and 50s.*******EARLY BIRD OFFERSigning up for this course by the end of September 2026 will entitle you to a promo code for a 50% discount for Matthew's next course, Cast a Dark Shadow – International Noir, a six-week course on Thursdays, 6.30-9pm, starting 21 January 2027.
