WetDream said: ART: huh? any film can be art. ART as in ARTHOUSE movies. Also referred to as Independent or Indie films but I would use the term loosely. Eg. Some may say Donnie Darko would come under that genre but I think it's more of a mainstream film made to look indie. A few arthouse movies would be Orlando, Irreversible, Woman On Top, Betty Blue, Z, Cabaret, Chasing Amy, Lost In Translation etc | |

Del toro's Panz labyrinth too? mainstream (no, subtitles don't make something arthouse or indie) but with major artistic tones.

[Edited 2/27/09 6:28am] Arthouse/indie simply means it was not made/funded by a major studio. It was produced and released independently from that. I have my own definition of it, a feeling and an aesthetic and a process of distribution and a kind of audience that goes with it, to qualify as ARTHOUSE.  When I hear that term, I think of breakout films from the 60s, because I think that is when the term Arthouse was invented. I think these mostly included foreign films by Godard, Antonioni, Bergman, etc. But they could also include historical cinema, film noir, silent film etc. I think M Night Shyamalan would not qualify in this context. | |

Eh....it's evolved into that grouping, but actually they started out as films that usually have deep content as in social/psychological issues, stylized by the filmmaker, heavy in ambiguity, self-defining/epiphany issues, many are period pieces, and some have open endings, all aimed at small, niche audiences - things not normally seen in traditional Hollywood narrative films.nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher
