DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His films like 'Shoplifters' and 'Broker' explore unconventional family bonds and acceptance of people society marginalizes, finding love and belonging beyond biological ties.

 Céline Sciamma France

Her work, particularly 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' and 'Tomboy,' delicately examines familial tension and the gradual acceptance of identity within family structures.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

Films like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things' challenge conventional family dynamics and question what acceptance means in dysfunctional relationships.
