DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His work systematically deconstructs institutional power and bureaucratic oppression, particularly in films like 'The Third Generation' and 'Despair'.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

His darkly absurdist films like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things' present bureaucratic logic and institutional rules as surreal, dehumanizing forces.
