DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Fincher United States

His meticulous exploration of calculated violence and psychological manipulation in films like *Zodiac* and *The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo* deeply examines the mechanics and psychology of assassination.

 Park Chan-wook South Korea

His stylistically inventive thrillers like *Oldboy* and *Stoker* use assassination and revenge as vehicles for profound examinations of morality, trauma, and human nature.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His existential masterpiece *Blow-Up* uses an ambiguous assassination as the centerpiece to explore perception, truth, and the alienation of modern life.
