DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Joaquim Dos Santos USA

Works such as 'Elephant' and 'Last Days' examine how youth identities are constructed through media, consumerism, and societal pressures.

 Catherine Breillat France

Her provocative films like 'Fat Girl' and 'Rape Me' directly confront the sexualization and commodification of young female bodies in society.
