Niagara

Part of the series: When film noir got colors
What happens to the shadows of noir films when they are suddenly surrounded by expressive colors? When pastel colors do not soften the obscure crime tales, but, on the contrary, make them sharper and more hard-hitting? This film series revolves around a special moment in postwar American film history, when film noir broke out in color.
