DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His montage theory directly parallels modernist poetic fragmentation and juxtaposition, creating meaning through collision of images rather than narrative flow.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His films embody modernist literary techniques with dense symbolism, linguistic experimentation, and fragmented narratives that mirror the complexity of modernist verse.
