DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

He explores class hierarchies and social privilege through fantastical narratives that critique both aristocratic entitlement and systemic inequality.

Cristian Mungiu → Romania

His unflinching social realist dramas expose class divisions and the moral emptiness beneath bourgeois respectability in post-communist Eastern Europe.
