Live Poll: "Cinéma du look" (1980s-1990s)

It is a complex question because in most essays I have read they do categorize Leon as part of the "cinéma du look." As a neophyte in that artistic current I wouldn't put their opinion in doubt.

Plus, it seems after informing myself that the "cinéma du look" was something on the sidelines of French popular cinema of 1980s-1990s. I acquired critical acclaimed later on, but at first, a film like Diva (1981) was booed by critics. What I'm getting at is, it seems to be that the "cinéma du look", a bit like the Dogme 95, isn't as bound to French cinema/identity as it is to the career of those three filmmakers. Consequently, it feels unfair to exclude Leon because it supposedly was too Americanized.

But, on the other hand, I can't refute that Luc Besson had already, by 1994, distanced himself from the French cinema conventions. That is why it is a complex question.

I'm not a big fan of one-sided polls, but it is hard to refute that Leon isn't part of the "cinéma du look." I won't deny a couple hundred more votes. It is more important for people to discover the "cinéma du look" than for the poll to have an equal repartition of votes.
