Neo-Baroque film

Neo-Baroque films are characterised by the excessively ornate, carnivalesque fragmentation of the film frame and/or narrative, sometimes to the point of spatial and/or narrative incoherence.[1] While the term "neo-baroque" is borrowed from the writings of semiologist Umberto Eco and philosopher Gilles Deleuze, it is used in film studies to describe certain films by directors such as Peter Greenaway[2], Sally Potter[3], Raúl Ruiz[4], Claire Denis[5], and even to discuss television series'[6] and Hollywood blockbusters.[7]
