DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
François Truffaut France

His semi-autobiographical film 'The 400 Blows' is the definitive portrait of adolescent alienation and rebellion against institutional authority.

 Miloš Forman Czechoslovakia

'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and 'Amadeus' both explore individual rebellion against oppressive systems and conformist establishments.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His raw, provocative films like 'Accatone' and 'Salò' confront societal norms and depict youth and marginalized rebellion with unflinching intensity.
