Slow Cinemas Analysis (diagram)
Slow(ish) Cinema is all this! That umbrella term covers all Slow Cinemas, including CCC (Contemplative Cinema) which is only a small subset of it all. For instance, Ozu, Bresson, Antonioni, Tarkovsky, Angelopoulos, Jarmusch, Ceylan, Hong Sang-soo, Malick, are all considered part of "Slow Cinema", whereas they are excluded from Contemplative Cinema, for various reasons (as seen on the diagram).
When you add up Slowness, Long Takes, Minimalism, Realism, Verisimilitude, Atmosphere, Poetry and Ennui, you get Contemplative Cinema.
When you substract from Slow Cinema the following concepts : Edits, Narrative Arc, Fantasy, Staging, Politics, Monologue, Score, Dialogues, Lyricism, Words, you get Contemplative Cinema too.
Slowness, Long Takes > Minimalism > Realism, Verisimilitude > Atmosphere, Poetry > Ennui > Contemplative Cinema
