DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Park Chan-wook South Korea

His work obsessively examines the violent disruption of established orders and the psychological toll of power transitions, particularly in family and institutional hierarchies.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

He deconstructs power structures and inheritance through darkly absurdist narratives that expose the artificial rules governing succession in both intimate and institutional contexts.
