I’m loosely aware that there’s a Marxist Film Theory school, and that obviously there were many filmmakers and theorists who were Marxists in history, but I can’t wrap my head around how one would specifically apply Marxism to film critique and production.

I also can’t find any understandable explanation. Could somebody ELI5?

    Kim Il Sung’s On Cinema (you can find the PDF online) and the Soviet montage theory I think would be two starting points. And then watching marxist movies I think.
