Marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism, and menace; its style is often characterized by cynical heroes, stark lighting effects and set design, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy. \u00a0Highly influenced by German Expressionist cinema of the 1910s and 1920s, film historians generally define the genre retrospectively, focusing primarily on American crime dramas of the post-World War II era.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23246\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23246\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
