From the Paper:

"The film Blade Runner (1982) makes deliberate use of the 1940s film style known as film noir, a name given to the approach by French film critics who saw in American movies an emerging social, psychological, and stylistic point of view after World War II. The use of the style in Blade Runner brings two different generic sensibilities into conflict: the science fiction film which looks to the future, and the film noir which finds meaning in the dark and decaying urban world of the 1940s. Director Ridley Scott deliberately plays the two styles against one another, with the high-tech world of the future shown not as a brave new world of progress and light but as an extension of the urban decay of today, a theme highlighted by the stylistic link to films of the past."
