DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Bernardo Bertolucci Italy

His films like '1900' and 'The Conformist' depict how political upheaval and fascism violently interrupt personal and communal celebrations of life, love, and identity.

 Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His revolutionary films such as 'Battleship Potemkin' and 'October' transform historical moments of disrupted ceremonies and celebrations into powerful commentaries on societal transformation.

 Michael Haneke Austria

His films including 'Funny Games' and 'The Seventh Continent' systematically deconstruct and violently disrupt the facade of domestic contentment and social rituals.
