Cinema of Cruelty:

This term is primarily associated with Antonin Artaud, a French avant-garde playwright, poet, and theorist. Artaud proposed the idea of a "Theatre of Cruelty" in the early 20th century.
The term has been extended to cinema, emphasizing films that explore intense and sometimes disturbing emotions, challenging traditional narrative structures. It often involves a deliberate assault on the senses of the audience.

Luis Buñuel was a Spanish filmmaker and one of the most important figures in the surrealist movement. His films often featured dreamlike sequences, unconventional narratives, and a critique of bourgeois society.
Notable works include "Un Chien Andalou" (1929) and "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" (1972).

Alfred Hitchcock:

Alfred Hitchcock, on the other hand, was a British filmmaker known for his mastery of suspense and psychological thrillers. His films are characterized by intricate plots, clever use of camera angles, and a recurring theme of the "innocent man wrongly accused."
Some of his most famous films include The Birds is a 1963 American natural horror-thriller film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Loosely based on the 1952 short story of the same name by Daphne du Maurier, "Vertigo" (1958), and "North by Northwest" (1959).

Adding a new dimension to our cinematic exploration, we turn to Akira Kurosawa, a Japanese auteur whose epics have left an indelible mark on world cinema. "Rashomon" (1950), a groundbreaking exploration of subjective truth, challenges perceptions with its multiple perspectives on a single event and the epic visions of Japanese maestro Akira Kurosawa. Each director, with their distinct approach, has left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, shaping narratives that challenge conventions and ignite the imagination.

We find ourselves inspired to embrace the multifaceted nature of storytelling that continues to captivate and challenge audiences worldwide. ( )
