A reflexive film is a film that makes the audience aware of the filmaking process. Reflexivity is defined by such devices as looking into the camera, taking advantage of two-dimensionality of the screen, or simply making a film about making a film.

Contributor's notes: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) is considered a reflexive film because the lead character (Matthew Broderick) occasionally transitions his gaze into the camera to narrate his thoughts to the audience directly. Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2005) is also a prime example of reflexivity in filmmaking, and is quite a brilliant film, in and of itself. However, I cannot mention why it is reflexive, because that will lessen the appreciation of the film. Check it out sometime; you will not be dissappointed.

Is the word yourself reflexive or intensive?

The word "yourself" can function as both a reflexive and intensive pronoun, depending on the context in which it is used. As a reflexive pronoun, it reflects back to the subject of the sentence (e.g., "She bought herself a new car"). As an intensive pronoun, it emphasizes the subject of the sentence (e.g., "I made this cake myself").
