DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti Italy

His films meticulously dissect aristocratic decline and class conflict, from the fall of the Sicilian nobility in 'The Leopard' to the decay of bourgeois families in 'Senso'.

 Stanley Kubrick United States

He examines class hierarchies and institutional power structures across historical periods in 'Barry Lyndon,' 'Full Metal Jacket,' and 'Eyes Wide Shut,' revealing the artificiality of social rank.
