DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch USA

His surrealist narratives find profound beauty in the grotesque, unsettling, and psychologically fractured aspects of everyday American life.

 Gaspar Noé France

He deliberately confronts viewers with aesthetic transgression, transforming violence, decay, and bodily excess into hypnotic visual experiences that challenge conventional notions of beauty.
