DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His films dissect consumer culture and capitalist systems through melodrama, exploring how advertising and commodification shape desire and relationships.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

He systematically deconstructs advertising language and consumer society through self-reflexive cinema that exposes the artificial construction of meaning in commercials and media.

 Spike Jonze United States

His work critiques advertising culture from within, having directed iconic commercials while simultaneously creating narrative films that question technology, consumer identity, and mass marketing.
