Or . . . "small films". e.g. "A Man and a Woman" is a "small" film.Amazingly enough, some of our greatest US films go there.
"To kill a Mockingbird" Large subject . . . small focus. Normal people, a family in the rural south. Having grown up there, I can assure people reading this that the portrayed world, good and bad, was real.The whole milleu is oft associatd in the USA today with "Chick Flicks". Maybe that is because of "The Bridges of Madison County" which was a "chick flick", beautiful movie, and "small film" all in one. Or maybe something else. Quien sabe.
If one thinks about it, however. "Field of Dreams" is a "small film" which resonates in America. It is strange that Malmoud's corrupted "The Natural" has much less currency with the film public. Had it been left with its original ending, I suspect no one would know it. And for me, in the popular cinema, "River Runs Through it" is the same. Those of us who grew up there . . . well . . . it is a tough film to watch, yet telling all the same.
One of my favouite small films (and no doubt a potential "chick flick") is "Salt on her Skin" which was released in very abridged fashion here as "Desire". It is available now (somewhat abridged) on DVD. I still watch the European tape.
