DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Federico Fellini Italy

His films like 'La Dolce Vita' and '8½' offer surreal, biting critiques of Italian bourgeois life, consumerism, and the Catholic Church's influence on society.

 Paolo Sorrentino Italy

His works including 'Il Divo' and 'The Great Beauty' dissect contemporary Italian politics, corruption, and the decadence of Roman high society with sharp social commentary.

 Vittorio De Sica Italy

Through films like 'Umberto D.' and 'The Bicycle Thieves,' he exposed the hypocrisy and inequalities of post-war Italian society with neorealist social critique.
