- The rise of cinema and "moving pictures" in the first decade of the 20th century gave Modernism an artform which was uniquely its own, but it was largely undervalued by the literary and art intelligentsia. --Sholem Stein on modernist film
Modernist cinema is the cinematic form of modernism. Since cinema is essentially modernist, this is somewhat of a tautology.
However, films such as The Silence (1963) by Ingmar Bergman, Alain Resnais's Last Year at Marienbad (1961), Michelangelo Antonioni's L'avventura (1960), and Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour (1967) have been classified as a landmarks of modernist cinema.
