DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Fincher USA

His films obsessively deconstruct the facades people wear in society, from the calculated personas in 'The Social Network' to the psychological masks in 'Fight Club' and 'Gone Girl'.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

He explores artificial social rituals and performative behavior in works like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'The Favourite', exposing how people conform to rigid social codes.

 David Lynch USA

His surrealist masterpieces like 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Eraserhead' reveal the disturbing gap between suburban facades and psychological darkness lurking beneath societal masks.
