DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His films like 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' and 'Salò' provocatively examine religious doctrine and political power through transgressive cinema.

 Theo Angelopoulos Greece

His meditative works explore the intersection of Orthodox Christianity, historical trauma, and political ideology in post-war European societies.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His socially conscious films interrogate institutional religion and left-wing politics, questioning how both shape working-class lives and social justice.
