I think there were two trends for films in the '90's. First, the success of "Pulp Fiction" produced a whole bunch of wannabees, where attitude was numero uno as a theme over plot. Second, and more interesting, is the resurgence of films without a standard structured narrative (e.g., "Lost Highway", "Taste of Cherry", "Chunking Express"). What this means for me is that these films are going to be more abstract, challenging/difficult to view, and may risk total "crash and burn" (for me, that means "Lost Highway"). Remember Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou"? Get ready for similar efforts from independent filmmakers.
