DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

His films like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things' explore control, observation, and the surveillance of bodies within confined social systems.

 Brian De Palma United States

He systematically dissects voyeurism and surveillance in films like 'Blow Out' and 'Body Double,' making observation itself a thriller mechanism.
