Yeah that's a good point, and I agree. I conflated "expressionism" and "German Expressionism" at the end, but they shouldn't be. I think expressionism is still an appropriate term to describe what a movie like Amelie is doing, even if I think that saying it was influenced by German Expressionism is less appropriate.
'Where do you think a movie like Paweł Pawlikowski's "Ida" lands on this? The movie is more grounded in reality and in its space but feels like there might be some elements relating to GE beyond the obvious. Thanks again. Great stuff!
Hmm that's a cool movie to think about along these lines. Visually, the film seems to have more in common with Bresson and Ozu, in that the frames seem deliberately composed, but it seems less "expressive" of character subjectivity (kind of like what Flight says about Wes Anderson). But Ida, at least in comparison to, say Ozu, creates noticeable patterns in framing that make you think about character subjectivity, like when the emphasis on negative space above the characters' heads starts to shrink. What are your thoughts?
Man, I just found out your channel and watched a few of your videos, they are great and really helpful specially to a freshman like me. Continue the good work Sir.
I enjoyed this video very much thank you ! One thing that I’ve thought about : Wes Anderson’s movies are definitely not german expressionism but I don’t know if we can tell it’s stylishness without expressionism. I can imagine a world influenced by emotion, just in another way. Using symmetries, pastel colors and the childlike whimsy, there is also a sens that we are in a stylized dream giving visual form to emotion. To name one theme that reflects an emotion (at least to me) I would say « childhood making sens of reality » and what kind of reality ? Not the ones of a child’s dream, maybe one more superficial.

Amazing amazing video! Thank you 🤍
Great video!
German expressionism is dark but there’s no reason why this style should have a monopoly on what expressionism is and isn’t.

Where are the women?
Oh who were you thinking? I think Lynne Ramsey would be a really interesting example.
