DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sidney Lumet → United States

His films like 'Network' (1976) and 'All the President's Men' (1976) critically examine media corruption, journalism ethics, and the power of television in shaping society during the 1970s.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder → Germany

His prolific output in the 1970s, including 'The Third Generation' (1979), interrogated how media, consumerism, and mass communication manipulate identity and politics in modern society.

Brian De Palma → United States

His 1970s thrillers like 'Blow Out' (1981) and 'Dressed to Kill' (1980) obsessively explore how visual media, surveillance, and recording devices create and distort reality.
