单项选择题

While examination of Eisenstein’ s work has yielded better understandings of film theory, such attention is rarely granted to the work of his successors. Even within the comparatively specialized field of film studies, these filmsLine remain largely ignored; they are discussed in a reductive and superficial manner (5) when taught, typically valued solely for rejecting or contesting Hollywood norms, trivializing movements sorely in need of rejuvenation, and given the economic situation of independent film production, such ignorance generates destructive cycle of neglect and ignorance. The stakes involved in naming Eisenstein as the model of the modernist film project are especially fraught since(10) the values implicit in such a decision help determine the availability of entire bodies of radical film. One deleterious result of applying the "Eisenstein standard" has been to make it easier than ever to remain ignorant of experimental film forms, which can uniformly be extolled as "transgressive" or "deconstructive" without serious engagement.
According to the passage, which of the following is true about the films that continued Eisenstein's filmmaking tradition（）

A．They tend to trivialize the Eisenstein movement by rejecting Hollywood norms.
B．Although they have not been taught frequently, they have had a transgressive influence on experimental film-making.
C．Their availability has been diminished by the apotheosis of Eisenstein as their model.
D．These films are valued for the challenge they have presented to the norms of Hollywood film.
E．These films would almost certainly be more popular with mainstream audiences, if only film studies were less specialized.
