What are the cultural characteristics of postmodern film aesthetics?

1. Deep thinking on subverting traditional art films from the standpoint of anti-culture, sorting out various artistic skills and means with the attitude of consumerism, and changing from montage to collage film language.

2. Movies different from modernist films provide research objects for postmodern film criticism. It is the symbol of postmodern film to subvert the traditional art film from the standpoint of counterculture and sort out various artistic skills and means from montage to collage film language.

3. The postmodern film theory holds that the French films after 1968 already contain the rebellious spirit of postmodern films and some formal factors, such as collage, random insertion of quotations and photos, reproduction of shooting scenes, participation in TV interviews, direct presentation to the audience and other means to subvert the traditional film language.

Postmodern film style

The word "postmodern" includes: all metaphysical explorations that break the existing rules and styles. Based on this theory, "post-modern film" refers to: subverting tradition, subverting the old film mode, and creating a film with strong personal style and self-awareness, which is disorderly, romantic and free.

In other words, the most obvious point of postmodernism is anti-tradition, and postmodern films naturally jump out of the old film framework in form and core.
