DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

He deconstructs social rituals and ceremonies, including weddings, to expose the absurdity and dysfunction underlying supposedly joyful occasions in films like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer.'

 Jane Campion New Zealand

Her nuanced explorations of female desire and agency frequently culminate in or pivot around wedding moments that challenge traditional expectations and reveal psychological depths.
