Kino

🎲

Internet slang term for quality cinema that carries both genuine appreciation and ironic connoisseurship, discussed as evolution of 'epic'

Mentions (1)
"Calling a scene in a movie 'epic' is just saying it's really awesome, but calling it 'kino' subtly carries this fantasy of you as some early 20th century central European connoisseur enjoying 'kinography,' as well as that fantasy's inherent silliness (and therefore irony)."
