art-house film

An art-house film is a type of movie that emphasizes artistic expression, exploration of complex themes, and innovative storytelling techniques rather than mainstream entertainment or commercial appeal. These films often feature unconventional narratives, visual styles, and character development, aiming to provoke thought and evoke emotional or intellectual responses. They tend to cater to niche audiences, focusing on personal, philosophical, or experimental subjects. Art-house films are typically made outside the Hollywood studio system, valuing artistic integrity and originality over mass-market success.
