DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Bernardo Bertolucci Italy

His films like 'The Conformist' and '1900' provide profound psychological and historical examinations of fascism's grip on Italian society and individual conscience.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His work, particularly 'Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom,' uses fascism as a metaphor for power structures and social control through provocative, unflinching cinema.

 Luchino Visconti Italy

His films 'Ossessione' and 'The Leopard' explore fascism's cultural and social impact on Italian life with operatic grandeur and historical depth.
