DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His films like 'The Merchant of Four Seasons' and 'In a Year of 13 Moons' unflinchingly explored sexual disease, promiscuity, and bodily decay within marginalized communities.

 Joachim Trier Denmark

His provocative works including 'Antichrist' and 'Nymphomaniac' explicitly engage with venereal disease, sexual contamination, and the body as a site of vulnerability and punishment.

 Claire Denis France

Her film 'Trouble Every Day' directly addresses the transmission of disease through sexuality, blending horror and eroticism to explore bodily transgression and infection.
