Ctcs 190 nov 9 Modernism comes into play barely in the post war period but comes in 63-74 and creates an EXPLOSION in genre Modern movement Pervasive influence on movies, arts, etc…still pervasive today The hours- very pure modernist (some are very diluted) Eisenstein? Pachenky? Modernism infiltrated in 20s and 30s but it was submersive politically and it didn’t make money Modernism resurfaces again in European cinema after ww2 that the italians called neorealism? In Sweden. In France they called it the new wave. Sometimes very few in America did so. 2 tenants of modernism- each characterized by revolution content form every modernist work is a self-conscious questioning of all social and moral issues  its up front in challenging and questioning the norm maybe not coming up with any answers but probing for them by questoning the world is not homogenius….its heterogenius…very complex world the morality is not a traditional morality…it operates through situation rather than natural law
