Why Choose This Course
French New Extremity films, a subgenre of extreme cinema, offer a potent political commentary relevant even today. Their unflinching depictions of violence and social issues reflect anxieties about societal breakdown and power structures. The films often explore themes of alienation, marginalization, and the failures of institutional authority, resonating with current anxieties surrounding political polarization and economic inequality. The UK, for instance, has seen a rise in social unrest, mirrored by a surge in interest in darker, more challenging cinema. According to a recent survey, 35% of UK filmgoers aged 18-35 expressed interest in films exploring themes of societal collapse. This correlates with a 15% increase in independent film viewership within the same demographic over the past five years.
| Demographic | Viewership Change (%) |

| 18-35 | +15 |
| 36-50 | +5 |
