DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Cronenberg Canada

His body horror films obsessively explore the transformation and corruption of the physical form as a manifestation of psychological and social anxieties.

 Gaspar Noé France

He confronts viewers with raw, unflinching depictions of naked bodies and physical vulnerability to challenge beauty standards and societal judgment.
