DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His innovative montage theory and geometric compositions directly translated modernist visual principles into cinematic language.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

He systematically deconstructed narrative and visual conventions, embracing abstraction and self-reflexivity as core modernist strategies.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His philosophical approach to cinema prioritizes form, temporal manipulation, and meditative aesthetics aligned with modernist experimentation.
