French Impressionism is a film movement that includes several characteristics
which are emotions, cinéma pur, Photogénie and visual rhythm. It uses
metaphors, fantasy scenes and filters to evoke the feeling of the characters
instead of showing the real objects. In the mise-en-scene of French
Impressionism, the Impression filmmakers concerned about lighting objects to
enhance their film to make a better quality and French Impressionism mood to
the audiences. The filmmakers will always use single source, shadows indicating
off-screen actions, variety of lighting situation in their film.
Films with French Impressionism
movement are more consider toward artistic aspect. It most probably express the
message in the film indirectly or subconsciously rather than tell the audiences
the message directly.
This film movement has brought the
beauty of arts into film industry. It provides another brand new way for the
audiences to enjoy a film and also broaden the film market. Nowadays, the
famous Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai has put a lot of effort on the development
