DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Miloš Forman Czechoslovakia

Films like 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and 'Hair' directly challenge institutional authority and celebrate individualistic resistance to conformity.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

His revolutionary French New Wave films deconstructed cinema itself as an act of artistic rebellion against conventional filmmaking and narrative structures.
