DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Cronenberg → Canada

His body horror films like 'Videodrome' and 'The Fly' explore the body as a malleable, vulnerable commodity subject to technological and biological transformation.

Gaspar Noé → France

His provocative works such as 'Irréversible' and 'Love' examine the commodification of bodies through explicit sexuality, violence, and the economics of desire.

Denis Villeneuve → France

Films like 'Trouble Every Day' and 'High Life' interrogate the body as a site of exchange, desire, and survival within systems of power and confinement.
