         <description><![CDATA[<div>Distorted shapes and lines in set design that counter the sense of balance, heavy shadowing along with theatrical actor movements are practiced in German Expresionism to suggest a warped or perverted perspective of the world. The story world is twisted as a reflection of the storyteller’s emotional state.<br><br>Gothic makeup and clothing along with exaggerated movements of the actors are also expressions to the distortion of reality that further suggest ill psychological states.<br><br>Expressionist films also applied symmetry shots, distortion, exaggeration and juxtaposition of similar shapes in the mise-en-scene.<br><br>Expressionist films often employ flat lighting to stress the connection between the characters and the décor.<br><br>The themes and visual style of German Expressionism are later widely used in horror and fantasy stories, crime thrillers, melodramas, social dramas and historical epics to create the sombre mood.</div>]]></description>
