Cinéma pur

Okay kiddo, let me explain the term "cinéma pur" to you. So, when we watch a movie, we see lots of different things happening on the screen, right? Like characters talking, moving around, and doing things. Sometimes, there's music or sound effects too. All of these things put together create what we call a "film".

Now, imagine if we only focused on one thing at a time. For example, if we just watched the way the characters are moving or just listened to the sound without seeing anything on the screen. That's what "cinéma pur" is all about.

Instead of focusing on telling a story or creating a certain mood, "cinéma pur" filmmakers only care about exploring what can be done with different elements of film - like image, sound, and movement. They want to see how far they can push these individual elements to create something new and innovative.

So, when you watch a "cinéma pur" film, you might not really understand what's happening, and that's okay - it's not really meant to be a story or anything like that. It's just about exploring the different ways that film can be used to create art.

Does that make sense to you, kiddo?
