DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His films like 'Canterbury Tales' and 'Salò' deeply challenge religious authority and institutional power through provocative critiques of hierarchical control.

 Chuck Russell United Kingdom

His controversial works such as 'The Devils' directly confront papal and ecclesiastical authority with surreal, unflinching examination of religious institutions.
