poetry in film

Poetry in film refers to the use of visual and auditory elements—such as imagery, sound, symbolism, and editing—to evoke emotion, mood, and aesthetic resonance beyond straightforward storytelling. Like poetry uses carefully chosen words to evoke feelings, poetic film employs stylistic techniques to create a sensory and emotional experience, often emphasizing mood, rhythm, and metaphor over narrative clarity. This approach invites viewers to interpret and feel deeper layers of meaning, transforming the film into an artistic expression that touches on universal human themes through its expressive form.
