bourgeois critique

His surrealist and later social realist films systematically deconstruct bourgeois morality, hypocrisy, and social rituals through absurdist satire and dark humor.

His radical experimental cinema interrogates bourgeois consumer culture, capitalism, and ideology while challenging the formal conventions that naturalize class structures.

His melodramas expose the emotional and psychological violence embedded in bourgeois relationships, exploitation, and the intersection of personal desire with capitalist systems.
