DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Terry Gilliam United States/United Kingdom

His films 'Brazil' and '12 Monkeys' are masterworks of dystopian cinema that examine surveillance, bureaucratic control, and loss of individual identity in nightmarish futures.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

His films like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things' explore surveillance, control, and the violation of autonomy through eerily controlled cinematic worlds.
