DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

His films present grotesque social rituals and bizarre relationship dynamics as mundane reality, transforming everyday human behavior into unsettling absurdist theater.

 Jacques Tati France

He masterfully extracts comedy and profound absurdity from ordinary modern life, exposing the ridiculous contradictions hidden within routine activities and social conventions.
