DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His body of work relentlessly examines hierarchies, oppression, and psychological manipulation within relationships and social systems, particularly in post-war German society.

 Stanley Kubrick USA

Through works like Dr. Strangelove, A Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket, he explores institutional control, authoritarianism, and the dehumanizing effects of systems of power.
