Cinéma du look is a movement in French film that places an emphasis on very nice looking scenes. Previously, French directors were never very self-indulgent when it came to the visual aspect of their films. Directors in the 1980's began to incorporate lush imagery into their pieces. Leading directors of this movement are Luc Besson (Nikita), Jean-Jacques Beineix (37,2 le matin), and Leos Carax (Les amants du pont-neuf)
