It seeks to show how the cinema of these countries was influenced by techno-scientific advances and literary tendencies arising from the process of technological development.

The results point to an important influence of Italian neorealist aesthetics in both countries, as well as to a significant contribution from literary speculative genres, in order to obtain an aesthetically more realistic and attractive language
