It is the destination followed by the call

What do we mean when we say "black cinema? ".38 Caliber magazine
The black genre, film and literature, has evolved over time, adapted to the themes morse invention of renewal morse invention and new social realities: organized crime, sexual mores, universalization and democratization of mass culture ... There is no other narrative genre in which the mutual influence between cinema and literature is as clear as in novels and films black police genre. Some feed on one another in an act of "cannibalization" Raymond Chandler would say. Just remind the detective genre many novelists who have worked as film writers (Hammett, Chandler, William Riley Burnett, Jim Thompson, Jonathan Latimer, John Hadley Chase, James M. Cain, Steve Fisher, Donald Westlake, morse invention Elmore Leonard ...) and / or whose literary works have become, well, in classic films.
In many countries gender keys have adapted to different social

characteristics, their peculiar way of understanding violence, order / disorder, justice, crime, or death as a result of human activity. In others, the genus growers have settled practice mimicry to U.S. models. And with this narrative has been a worldwide explosion of great literature and magnificent film that reaches morse invention today a vitality without discussion. Alongside the basic filmmakers of American cinema (Huston, Walsh, Preminger, Siodmak, morse invention Hawks, Welles ...), have cultivated the genre European authors as Melville, Truffaut, Wenders, Frears, Malle, Rossi, Chabrol, Costa-Gavras, Godard, Leone ... who have made unparalleled films in the genre, either experiencing, visiting his way (even as western) or simply using their keys to tell a dark story as their souls.
It is the destination followed by the call "black cinema", which shares with literature a confusing amalgam of nicknames: thriller, detective, mystery, detective story, tough story, crock story, police procedural, mystery, intrigue, suspense ... and that agrees not to specialists on the name to define. Two examples. In France, where he coined the term film noir, is called

polar. In Italy, giallo (as part of the Italian horror film) by the color of the covers of popular publications morse invention which started disclosed crime stories. The Anglo-Saxon thriller mostly morse invention used the term, derived from the word thrill: emotion, shudder. With it, many claim to cover completely the genre (from gangster morse invention movies, suspense, mystery, black cinema classic ...) and refer to all those related morse invention

movies intrigue and persecution. But the issue is still not satisfy everyone, because under this "umbrella" morse invention are sheltered fantasy films, horror, psychological nightmares, morse invention black humor comedies ... For this reason we often speak of the police thriller, to distinguish it from thematic fantastic, supernatural or of pure tripe that also use that label.
It would certainly be more appropriate, and even more scientific, discuss criminal novel and film, with a definition that encompasses all the "sensitivities" of the genre, all its nuances. However, the goddess Fortuna, when it comes to nomenclature, often whimsical. In 1946, the French critic coined the term successful film noir, "black film", referring to the films that came to screens in the summer of that year: The Maltese Falcon by John Huston, Otto Preminger's Laura, History detective Edward Dmytryk, Bane of Billy Wilder, The Woman in the Window of Fritz Lang ... Films of ambiguous content which portrays the dark side of society, expressionist aesthetic to the use of color, who brought other stylizations. Formally establishing a "specific complaint" nightmarish atmospheres, metaphorical vision, chronic reality (Santamarina, 1999). This name became very popular in Spain. Since then generically called black film all movies of this issue, with police, detectives, prison, white collar criminals, murderers, gangsters ...
The black detective genre was practically born with cinematic storytelling. In 1903, the movie Assault and train robbery (The Great Train Robbery) by Edwin S. Porter, recounts the criminal act of a band of robbers, murders and violence unleashed. It is the first dramatic film in movie history, the first western while the first movie-themed criminal. In 1908, David W. Griffith Wheel Mad Money (Mad Money), a moral story of bandits at gunpoint, driven by crime and greed, thieves who steal from thieves. Four years later
