neorealists
Gritty filmmaking advocates
Neorealists are adherents of neorealism—a term applied to distinct movements in film, international relations theory, and philosophy.
In cinema, neorealists were Italian filmmakers of the 1940s–50s who depicted working-class life with documentary-style realism: The neorealists rejected Hollywood glamour for stories shot on location with nonprofessional actors.
In political science, neorealists emphasize how the international system's structure—not human nature—shapes state behavior.
