DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Alfred Hitchcock United Kingdom

His films consistently explore male desire, voyeurism, and the objectification of women through psychological thrillers that make the viewer complicit in the male gaze.

 Stanley Kubrick United States

His works interrogate male obsession, control, and fantasy regarding women, from sexual desire in 'Lolita' to the commodification of femininity in 'A Clockwork Orange.'

 Joachim Trier Denmark

He deliberately provokes examination of male perspective on women through explicit and challenging narratives that critique masculine desire and power dynamics.
