Rising UK label Radiance Films goes hard with their first Noir collection! Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition 3-Disc Blu-ray collection for World Noir Volume 1, which includes 1957's I Am Waiting, 1959's Witness in the City and The Facts of Murder. Though widely considered an American filmmaking style, film noir was first applied by French critics to the visual and thematic darkness of the flood of American films in the post-War period. Those films, often by European emigré filmmakers, were influenced by European filmmaking modes, notably French poetic realism and Weimar cinema. The American noirs that flourished in the 1940s and 1950s in turn influenced cinema around the world again. This ongoing box set series attempts to capture the trails of the noir influence across the globe, from the pre-War period to the emergence of neo-noir, expanding our understanding and availability of this rich filmmaking tradition. In this first collection, World Noir Vol 1 focuses on the 1950s
