DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Billy Wilder Austria-USA

His masterpiece 'Sunset Boulevard' is the definitive exploration of Hollywood's cruelty to aging entertainers and the industry's disposability of talent.

 François Truffaut France

'Day for Night' affectionately yet critically examines the film industry's struggles, artificiality, and the melancholy behind cinema's romanticized facade.
