fantastique
- /fæntæsˈtɪk/
Where it comes from
Unadapted borrowing from French fantastique. Doublet of fantastic.
noun
- A genre of literature and film that is characterized by the intrusion of the supernatural into the realistic framework of a story. And certainly the film's free-floating fantasy and the blatant transparency of its narrative--its capacity to be seen for the artifice that it is--are a lot closer to fantastique than they are to the more logically circumscribed forms of fancy celebrated in this country.
