TRAP TV - Noir is a Vibe (PREVIEW)

What is film noir and why does it matter? In the first episode of a series called Shadow Nation, I reflect on the commercial failure of Guillermo Del Toro's prestige noir remake Nightmare Alley (2021) and wonder what makes a movie "noir" in the first place. Is it just detectives and fedoras and femmes fatale? Or is there a way of understanding noir beyond style, genre, and visual aesthetic?
