DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Mel Brooks United States

His films like 'Blazing Saddles' and 'Young Frankenstein' consistently break the fourth wall through character asides and meta-commentary on film conventions themselves.

 Buster Keaton United States

A silent film pioneer who frequently acknowledged the camera and audience directly, creating intimate moments of complicity between character and viewer.
