Type of film only showing in visible and ultraviolet light? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noir

'type of film' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for noir that I've seen before include "(Of film or fiction) with bleak settings and cynical characters" , "Film featuring bleak settings and cynical characters" , "cinematic style" , "type of film" , "Kind of dark film" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
