It may be redundant to say so, but noir is a sub-genre of
crime fiction. Forget that and the cat is so long out of the
bag that every kitten begins to look alike.
And while it may be Hard Boil that's working class, noir too
looks at the world, especially the exercise of power, from
the bottom up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but might not even
Captains be existentialists?
