THE WORLD IN THE FOG, THE WORLD BEHIND THE FOG. EXISTENTIALISM, POETIC REALISM AND AMERICAN FILM NOIR

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the article is to depict similarities and differences between American film noir and French cinema of the 30s. I will, first of all, refer to the tendency of the prewar French cinema known as poetic realism as it constitutes the solid background for the film noir. But as my point is also to show that film noir roots can be found in other aspects of French culture, philosophical thought of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus (existentialism) will be discussed as well and presented as a kind of intellectual world view that links poetic realism and film noir.
