DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Lynne Ramsay United Kingdom

Her films like 'You Were Never Really Here' and 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' explore maternal trauma and the psychological toll of motherhood with unflinching intensity.

Her works, particularly 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' and 'Petite Maman,' delicately examine relationships between mothers and daughters, and female autonomy in family structures.
