Which movement is defined as the rejection of western conventions and the depiction of reality that is widely distorted for emotional effect ?
Answer: A
The movement is German Expressionism.
German Expressionist cinema of the 1920s, with films such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Nosferatu (1922), turned away from realistic conventions and used painted, angular sets, extreme shadows and stylised acting so that the distorted world on screen expressed fear, madness and inner emotion.
The French New Wave of the late 1950s was a modernist break with studio storytelling but did not distort reality for emotional effect; it favoured location shooting and jump cuts. Cinema Verite is the opposite tendency, an observational documentary style that tries to capture reality as it happens. 'Cinema Nono' is not an established film movement.
