DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Cronenberg Canada

His filmography obsessively explores the body as a site of transformation and violation through medical and surgical imagery, most notably in 'Videodrome' and 'The Fly.'

 Denis Villeneuve France

She examines bodily vulnerability and medical intervention with visceral intimacy, particularly in 'Trouble Every Day' and 'Let the Sunshine In,' treating the body as a contested landscape.
