There are many characteristics in Film noir.
Obscure lighting
Obsession with the past (flashbacks)
Femme Fatale
Odd camera angles (often low, high or tilted to one side)
Narration by the main character
The getaway and the chase
Someone is always looking for the truth
The city landscape
... and so on.
Betrayal, love, sex and the perfect murder are all important elements of film noir.
