DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stanley Kubrick USA · New York

Meticulously composed frames that transform human fragility into architectural monuments of despair.

 Ben Wheatley UK

Darkly comic narratives of violence and institutional absurdity told through fractured, disorienting visual style.

 David Yarovesky USA

Yarovesky transforms everyday Americana into nightmarish landscapes where childhood becomes corrupted.
