Voice over’s and flashbacks were persistent stylistic and narrative elements of Film Noir. It carefully clues the spectator to who is speaking, when, and from where, other films use voice-over and flashback temporarily more ambiguously. Often we need to inquire about the motives of narrative voices, how much they know and whether they are telling the truth, when and to whom they are speaking. Film Noir seems to emphasize narrative gaps, and even the possibility of narratives that can deceive. Invisible Storytellers, a study of voice–over narration by Sarah Kozloff, shows that its occurrence in Hollywood films is closely linked to the rise and decline of the Film Noir movement.
