DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His revolutionary films Battleship Potemkin and October directly chronicle and aestheticize the political upheavals of the early 1900s.

 Carl Theodor Dreyer Denmark

His austere, humanistic approach in films like Vampyr and The Passion of Joan of Arc explores existential themes central to early 20th century modernism.
