More twisted frames failing to appear in arthouse film (5)
I believe the answer is:
indie
'more twisted frames failing to appear' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'in arthouse film' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'die' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indie that I've seen before include "Branch of pop music" , "paper" , "Autonomous film co." , "Type of music" , "minor label" .)
