DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein → Soviet Union

His montage theory and visual compositions directly mirror printmaking's layered, graphic approach to building meaning through contrasting images.

Yorgos Lanthimos → Greece

His stylized, symmetrical framing and deliberate use of graphic color palettes create a distinctly printed aesthetic with bold, carved-out visual spaces.
