DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stanley Kubrick United States

His films obsessively deconstruct systems of power and control, from military hierarchies in *Dr. Strangelove* to totalitarian surveillance in *A Clockwork Orange* and *2001: A Space Odyssey*.

 Walter Lang Germany

His expressionist masterpieces *Metropolis* and *M* critically examine state control, industrial power structures, and the terrifying machinery of both fascism and mob justice.
