DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Fincher USA

His films like 'The Wolf of Wall Street' (as inspiration) and 'Gone Girl' meticulously deconstruct deception, manipulation, and the masks people wear in society.

 Sidney Lumet USA

A master of institutional corruption and fraud exposure, particularly in 'Network,' 'Serpico,' and 'Dog Day Afternoon,' revealing systemic dishonesty.

 Abbas Kiarostami Iran

His documentaries and fiction films blur truth and artifice to explore authenticity, deception, and the unreliability of perception itself.
