DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Billy Wilder Austria-Hungary

His films like 'Sunset Boulevard' and 'The Bad and the Beautiful' offer scathing critiques of Hollywood's studio system and its corrupting influence on artists.

 François Truffaut France

He critiqued the rigid studio system in his Cahiers du Cinéma writings and embodied auteur cinema as a rebellion against industrial filmmaking constraints.
