Genre is a term that sets a framework of expectations for an audience based on themes, aesthetic qualities, and narrative characteristics that help to categorize a film’s visual language and storytelling approach. Throughout the development of genre over the years, filmmakers have utilized techniques to subvert genre expectations by bending narratives between multiple generic frameworks. In this episode, we take a look at how two films, Bones and All (2022) and Parasite (2019) have achieved extraordinary results by taking unexpected risks with the bending of two or more genres into their stories.
