  So basically you are talking about old Soviet films. In which case you're going to want to look at the most famuos example - Eisensteins Battleship Potemkin.

  Of particular interest to you would be Soviet film makers use of juxtaposition. They're film making principle was that editiing was as important a process as directing. The use of two different shots cut into each other to evoke a particular emotion. The most important book written on the subject was Film Technique And Film Acting by V I Pudovkin.

  Early Soviet films you cud look at include:

  Battleship Potemkin
  October
  Alexander Nevsky
  Storm Over Asia
  The End Of St Petersburg
  The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks

  and there's loads more.
