postmodernism in film

Postmodernism in film is an approach that questions traditional storytelling and realism, often blending genres, breaking the fourth wall, and challenging viewers' expectations. It emphasizes self-awareness, irony, and the idea that there is no single "truth" or meaning, instead highlighting multiple perspectives. Films using postmodern techniques might parody familiar tropes, remix old styles, or create ambiguous narratives, encouraging viewers to think critically about the nature of reality, representation, and authenticity in storytelling. It reflects a skeptical, playful attitude toward conventions, often blurring boundaries between high and low culture.
