DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Alfred Hitchcock United Kingdom

Pioneered the subjective camera and voyeuristic perspective, making the viewer's gaze complicit in suspense through techniques like point-of-view shots and the unreliable eye.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

Explored power through framing, distance, and the gaze within relationships, using perspective and spatial composition to expose how looking itself becomes an act of control.
