Which movement is defined as the rejection of western conventions and the depiction of reality that is widely distorted for emotional effect ?
German Expressionism
German Expressionism (c. 1919–1931) rejected the realist conventions of Western art and cinema and instead presented a deliberately distorted reality to express inner emotion — anxiety, madness, fear.
Its hallmarks are painted, angular sets, oblique perspectives, harsh chiaroscuro lighting and exaggerated acting, as in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), Nosferatu (1922) and Metropolis (1927).
French New Wave (late 1950s) broke classical Hollywood editing rules with jump cuts and location shooting, but it did not distort reality for emotional effect; Cinema Verite is an observational documentary style that seeks unmediated reality; Cinema Novo was a Brazilian movement of social realism.
Hence, the answer is German Expressionism.
