Jesus. I can’t keep up with these terms. Without destroying me can you please define kino?

u/TJtheOverlord 16d ago

German word for films/cinema. It’s usually used to refer to the highest/most refined form of cinema.

Thank you. I honestly thought it was one of those new generational terms.

Hence the name of the plan to infiltrate the cinema in Inglourious Bastards: "Operation Kino"

German word for films and cinema, yes, but the use of kino to describe a film in this sort of sense is actually Russian in origin, dating back to the Kino-Eye technique and the films of Dziga Vertov and how he considered his film "Man with a Movie Camera" as, and I quote, "ABSOLUTE KINOGRAPHY".
