Note: Term coined by French critics to describe a genre of film characterized by dark, somber tone and cynical, pessimistic mood. Typically such films portray the dark and gloomy underworld of crime and corruption with the heroes as well as the villains being cynical and disillusioned, trapped by their pasts and insecure or apathetic about the future. The genre is typifed by Hollywood black-and-white motion pictures of the 1940s and early 1950s, though later examples in color exist.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 由法國影評人率先使用以描述該類風格晦暗、悲觀且憤世嫉俗的類型電影的詞彙。這類電影通常將背景放在犯罪舞弊叢生的底層社會,充斥著被過去羈絆,對未來欠缺安全感正邪角色的無法自拔。黑色電影的典型多是好萊塢在四零年代到五零年代初期所製作的黑白電影,但後期也有彩色電影的例子。 
Dutch ..... Door Franse critici bedachte term waarmee een genre films wordt omschreven die zich kenmerken door een donkere, sombere toon en een cynische, pessimistische stemming. Zulke films laten gewoonlijk de duistere, sombere onderwereld van criminaliteit en corruptie zien, waarin zowel de helden als de schurken cynisch en gedesillusioneerd zijn, gevangen in hun verleden en onzeker of apathisch over de toekomst. Typerende voorbeelden van het genre zijn zwart-witfilms uit Hollywood in de jaren 40 en vroege jaren 50 van de 20ste eeuw, hoewel er ook latere voorbeelden in kleur bestaan. 
Portuguese ..... Termo cunhado pelos críticos franceses para descrever um gênero de filme caracterizado por um tom sombrio e um humor cínico e pessimista. Normalmente, esses filmes retratam o submundo sombrio do crime e da corrupção, com os heróis e também os vilões sendo cínicos e desiludidos, presos por seu passado e inseguros ou apáticos quanto ao futuro. O gênero é tipificado pelos filmes em preto e branco de Hollywood dos anos 1940 e início dos anos 1950, embora existam exemplos posteriores em cores.
