My impression of noir is that it is gloomy, dark, and is associated with crime. I can appreciate this genre or mood, but it would not be my first choice for a film or other media. However I can see how it would make a story or picture more interesting. There is a feeling of mysteriousness that goes along with noir that makes you want to know more about the story or picture.
