Type of film that doesn’t use infrared? (4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
noir
'type of film' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'doesn't use infrared?' is the wordplay.
'doesn't use' becomes 'no' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'infrared?' becomes 'ir' (I've seen this in other clues).
'no'+'ir'='NOIR'
'that' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noir that I've seen before include "Film featuring bleak settings and cynical characters" , "film genre" , "cinematic style" , "Dark in France, like brooding films of 40s and 50s" , "(Of film or fiction) with bleak settings and cynical characters" .)
