Bong Joon-ho → South Korea

He masterfully uses genre and visual metaphor to expose the absurdity and violence inherent in class hierarchies and social stratification.

Pier Paolo Pasolini → Italy

His provocative films interrogate class division through the lens of sexuality, consumption, and the corruption of both bourgeois and lumpenproletariat culture.
