To conclude for the time being, I hope I have given a brief over view of the gender conventions of film noir along with the background history and conventions of film noir as a genre. I feel I have backed up some of my opinions on the gender conventions present in film noir but would liked to have taken the research further and looked in more depth into the feminist theories behind certain opinions on femme fatales as well as film noir in general. However, due to word counts and time restraints it was not possible yet. I hope to continue my research anyway and perhaps continue to post here after the marking process is complete.
Film noir is certainly an interesting subject which can be explored from various angles, I would have liked to explore genre definitions in relation to film noir being classed as a genre rather than a style and to look at the future of noir be it in the form of neo noir films or the current onslaught of video games inspired by film noir. The current resurgence of film noir, noir related writing and work is also intriguing and the reasons behind the resurgence would also be worthy of exploration.
