Neo-Baroque film is a type of film theory that (while the term "neo-baroque" is borrowed from the writings of semiologist Umberto Eco and philosopher Gilles Deleuze ) used in film studies to describe certain films, television shows[ 1] and Hollywood blockbusters characterised by the excessively ornate, carnivalesque fragmentation of the film frame and/or narrative , sometimes to the point of spatial and/or narrative incoherence.[ 2] [ 3]
