FROM GERMAN EXPRESSIONISM TO FILM NOIR
The 1946 film noir classic, “Gilda”.
The term Expressionism has a deep resonance in the history of the cinema. It is not just
a stylistic term for some of the films from the early 1920s, but “a generic term for most
of the art cinema of the Weimar Republic in Germany, and beyond Germany, echoing
down film history across the periods and genres, turning up in the description of
Universal horror films of the 1930s and the film noir films of the 1940s.”
The journey of German Expressionism from art cinema to the Hollywood mainstream
began with the exile and expulsion of many film producers, directors, writers, actors,
and music composers from Germany after Hitler came to power in January 1933.
Settling in California, these German émigrés had a significant artistic influence on
Hollywood filmmaking. This influence was most clearly felt in the existence of that
famous ‘Expressionist’ genre, the film noir, combining the haunted screen of the early
1920s with the lure of the sinful metropolis Berlin of the late 1920s (the femme fatales,
Louise Brooks and Marlene Dietrich) mixed with the angst of German émigrés during
the 1930s and 1940s as they contemplated personal tragedies and national disaster.”
The hard- boiled private eye stories of authors Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler,
and James M. Cain provided the narrative source for many classic film noirs. John
Huston began the trend of crime novel adaptations with his 1941 version of “The
Maltese Falcon.” This was quickly followed by “Double Indemnity” (directed by German
émigré, Billy Wilder who went on to write and direct “Sunset Boulevard), “The Postman
Always Rings Twice”, “Mildred Pierce”, and the Raymond Chandler adaptations, “The
Big Sleep” and “Murder, My Sweet”. Other classic film noirs that feature an
investigative narrative structure include “The Killers”, “Out of the Past”, “The Big Heat”,
“Kiss Me Deadly” and “The Big Combo”.
The Orson Welles’ 1958 cult classic, “Touch of Evil”.
7
The term film noir was first coined by French film critics in August 1946 to describe a
daring and stylish new type of Hollywood crime thriller with films such as “The Maltese
Falcon”, “Gilda”, “Double Indemnity”, and “Laura”. Film historians describe film noir as
a synthesis of hard-boiled crime fiction and German expressionism. The term is also
associated with certain visual and narrative traits including low-key photography,
images of wet city streets and romantic fascination with femme fatales. Most film critics
locate the period of film noir as beginning in 1941 with “The Maltese Falcon” and
culminating 1958 with Orson Welles’ “Touch of Evil”. Some film critics believe that noir
began much earlier and has never really gone away, but has appeared in various guises
up to the present day.
A direct connection between the crime films of the German Expressionist cinema and
the American private eye movie is made in the work of Fritz Lang, the German émigré
director who fled into exile in 1933. Lang brought the dark vision of criminality of his
Expressionistic classics, “Dr. Mabuse”, “The Gambler” and “M” to Hollywood and
became one of the most prolific directors of the noir genre. His films include “The
Woman in the Window”, “The Big Heat”, “While the City Sleeps” and “Beyond a
Reasonable Doubt”. Lang’s special subject was the more paranoid mentality. No
filmmaker has conveyed more powerfully than Lang a sense of overwhelming
entrapment, of a world whose every circumstance, every twist and turning, every corner
and corridor, seem to conspire against the individual and draw him or her more deeply
into a spider web.
It is the visual style of film noir, rather than story or character type that is seen as its
defining characteristic. The noir look was created by cinematographers, costume
designers, art directors and production designers. Its enduring influence on all genres
of Hollywood filmmaking can be seen today in films as diverse as “The Godfather”,
“Blade Runner” and “Sin City”. The visual style of film noir is characterized by
unbalanced and disturbing frame compositions, strong contrasts of light and dark, the
prevalence of shadows and areas of darkness within the frame, the visual tension
created by curious camera angles and so forth. Moreover, in film noir, these strained
compositions and angles are not merely embellishments or rhetorical flourishes, but
form the very substance of the film.
French film critics saw the typical noir narrative as an existential nightmare from which
the protagonist can never awaken. He is a doomed figure journeying through an
underworld of crime and deception until the final betrayal by the femme fatale that he
has fallen for. Expressionist lighting schemes and camera angles convey a sense of
entrapment as the hero ultimately makes his way through an often labyrinthine plot to
his final destination.
Film noir has influenced filmmakers and has appeared in many diverse feature films
Double Indemnity-1946
The Godfather-1972
Blade Runner-1982
Sin City – 2005

TARGET AUDIENCES
The Hispanic/Latino population in both North and Latin America is one of the
primary target audiences for the English/Spanish language film, BLOOD ON THE
STREETS. There are three distinct groups in the Hispanic community. The first
older generation likes to watch their films in Spanish. The second middle age
group prefers a blend of both Spanish and English in their viewing habits. And the
third younger generation gravitates towards English only, but still wants to see
themselves up on the screen.
THE HOT HISPANIC/LATINO MARKET
According to the US census bureau, as reported in the August 20, 2004 issue of
Screen International magazine, there are now over 40 million Hispanics in the
United States, a number that excludes 8-10 million undocumented illegals. That
number is expected to rise to 63 million by 2020, representing 18.9% of the total
US population. Latinos control about $653 billion in spending power, and that
number is expected to top well over $1 trillion by 2009. The population of
Americanized, predominantly English-speaking second and third-generation
Hispanics are rising.
In an interview with Screen international magazine, Mr. Santiago Pozo, the CEO of
Arenas Entertainment, said, “this market is under targeted, underserved and
underutilized. There is a lack of product and a lack of campaigns directed at this
audience.”
In box office terms, the Motion Picture of America (MPAA) figures that the US
Latino population represents 15% of the annual US box office gross. That was $1.4
billion in 2002. The National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) and MPAA
estimate that by 2012, Latinos will account for $2.9 billion in ticket sales – 20% of
the annual US box office gross. Latinos go to the movies more than any other
annual US box office gross. Latinos go to the movies more than any other group in
the US: 9.9 times a year in 2002 as opposed to 8.1 times a year for Caucasian
Americans and 7.6 times a year for African Americans.

A COMMON THREAD
Santiago Pozo adds, “there is a common thread across Latinos in the US, whether
they are Mexican, Cuban or Puerto Rican, they all want to belong to America. They
call themselves Latino, so it is possible to market a movie across this ethnic
group”.
