Fritz Lang made quite a few film noirs in his storied career. Some of them are some of the greatest ever made. Films like M (1931), The Big Heat (1954), and The Woman in the Window (1944) are terrific examples of the genre.
Human Desire is not the best example of film noir, nor one of Lang’s best, but it’s still pretty great. You can read my review of it over at Cinema Sentries.
