Subject field(s)
  • Cinematography
DEF

... a non-mainstream film that attracts a small, but loyally-obsessed group of fans, and remains popular and worshipped over many years ...

OBS

... cult films have limited but special appeal, and often have unusual or subversive elements or subject matter; they are often replayed for repeat viewings and audience participation (and group identification) as midnight movies; not to be confused with B-films (not all cult films are B-films).

OBS

A classic example of cult-movie remains "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".

DEF

Film ayant suscité un intérêt limité mais vénéré par un groupe restreint de fidèles, notamment les collégiens, qui lui réservent des projections répétées sur une période prolongée.
