Just a few months ago it was celebrating the pervasiveness obsessive to the point of arousing fear in the criticism that noir could engulf other forms, incorporating the literature as a Blob from Outer Space in the B- movie of the '50s.
And now instead run nasty rumors about his health, it almost gives the bier. But I do not think that it is still appropriate to send for the priest, and the noir genre and the narrative tension is close to defungere.
Sure, there are signs some fatigue, authors and readers, and as with other genres of the past for the noir would eventually ring the bell. But to die should be the occurrence of a condition which I believe has not yet been realized, and that in his time well summed Nietzsche: Was vollkommen ward, Reife alles - will sterben!
That is, translating a bit 'off the cuff, all that is mature and perfect want to die.

phrase full of suggestions, but also enigmatic: so much so that Karl Ernst Knodt rightly sung: Hat allein das Recht zum Sterben! words "only" that which is perfect has the right to die.
Now, say that noir has reached its full maturity and perfection seems somewhat risky. Unless we give up the idea that this is a genre inherently lesser, for which we must make do with what goes on in the convent without being too quibble, I would say that Dante or Shakespeare of film noir have not yet appeared horizon.

We are still in the dawn, it is only a few decades that started the great quest. The modern publishing machine was able to fill this space with thousands of titles, but an amount that is still difficult to get quality absolute. This is not to say that not to happen sooner or later, and maybe some disappointment might even benefit, such as pruning invigorates the fruit tree. Then
will also masterpieces, the genre will die out and calmly as a bearded patriarch of the Bible in front of a crowd of his descendants.
The only important thing is that this is done, contrary to fears of Eliot, with a bang and not a complaining (yet to sneak something in a big one.)
