DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Federico Fellini
Italy
His films obsessively explore the artist's narcissism and delusion, particularly in 8½ where a director's creative ego collapses under its own weight.
Joachim Trier DenmarkHe deliberately blurs the line between artistic vision and pathological ego, using self-destruction and provocation as central themes in films like Antichrist and Dancer in the Dark.
