DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luis Buñuel → Spain

His surrealist masterpieces systematically deconstruct and mock the pretensions, rituals, and hypocrisies of aristocratic and bourgeois society.

Luchino Visconti → Italy

He crafted visually sumptuous epics exploring the decay and moral corruption of nobility and wealthy families amid historical upheaval.

Robert Altman → United States

His ensemble narratives and satirical style dissect the vanities, power struggles, and social absurdities within elite circles and high society milieus.
