off-tread

French translation: "hors des sentiers battus" ou "hors normes"

00:18 Nov 20, 2001
English to French translations [Non-PRO]
Art/Literary
English term or phrase: off-tread
critique de cinéma

Either way, the tendency of senseless verbal metaphors is the most
tiresome thing in a generally entertaining spin on an off-tread
sub-genre. Initially, it’s mystifying why (Film Director) would be attracted to
such a run-of-the-mill affair.

French translation:"hors des sentiers battus" ou "hors normes"
Explanation:
It could be the "new version" of "an old story" (Romeo and Juliet revisited in Bonnie and Clyde) or something the filmakers rarely use (Massoud the Afghan).
Good luck!
