The Moderns is a 1988 film by Alan Rudolph, which takes place in 1926 Paris during the period of Lost Generation and at the height of modernist literature. Roger Ebert, in his review of the film states that The Moderns is:
- "sort of a source study for the Paris of Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s; it's a movie about the raw material he shaped into The Sun Also Rises and A Moveable Feast, and it also includes raw material for books by Gertrude Stein, Malcolm Cowley and Clifford Irving" Ebert review.
