DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Bernardo Bertolucci Italy

His films like 'The Conformist' and '1900' provide profound psychological and historical examinations of fascism's grip on Italian society and individual complicity.

 Luchino Visconti Italy

His works including 'Ossessione' and 'The Damned' explore fascism's moral corruption and its impact on Italian aristocracy and working-class life with operatic intensity.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His provocative films like 'Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom' use fascism as a lens to critique authoritarianism, power structures, and human degradation through controversial and radical cinema.
