New Film And Fashion Site Launches: Film Noir Blonde

Online, December 15, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Film Noir Blonde: B&W and chic all over is a new blog celebrating the magic and beauty of all things film noir.

Written by a former journalist who does not reveal her real name, Film Noir Blonde.com offers the tongue-in-cheek perspective of a mysterious femme fatale. Film Noir Blonde gives her take on noir films (old and new), fashion finds, beauty product reviews, horoscopes, movie news and interviews.

Film noir is a cinematic art form that reached its height of popularity after World War Two. Influenced by German Expressionism and French Poetic Realism, the movies were visually distinctive, using high-contrast lighting, painterly compositions and extreme camera angles to convey an atmosphere of uncertainty and ambiguity.

Thematic motifs include disillusionment, loneliness, corruption, greed, entrapment, doomed love, betrayal and a sense of being powerless against fate. Many of the stories came from American crime fiction of the 1930s and '40s. The film noir style gained renewed popularity in the 1980s. Film Noir Blonde will review both classic and neo noirs.

The femme fatale was a strong, independent woman who pursued what she wanted, often crafting elaborate schemes to support her plans. These vixens and vamps were not the girl next door! Film Noir Blonde covers fashion, beauty and lifestyle products that she thinks would be suitable for a temptress of today.
