DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luis Buñuel → Spain

His films like 'Viridiana' and 'Belle de Jour' dissect class hierarchies and sexual transgression with surrealist critique of bourgeois morality.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder → Germany

His work, particularly 'The Marriage of Maria Braun' and 'Lola,' examines how women navigate class systems through sexuality and economic desperation in post-war society.

Ken Loach → United Kingdom

Films like 'Kes' and 'I, Daniel Blake' unflinchingly portray how poverty and class marginalization force individuals into survival strategies including sexual exploitation.
