DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti → Italy

His films like 'The Leopard' and 'Senso' masterfully examine how marriage functions as a tool for navigating class boundaries and social transformation in hierarchical societies.

Satyajit Ray → India

His films such as 'Charulata' and 'Devi' explore marriage as both a constraint and potential pathway for women's agency and social positioning within patriarchal frameworks.
