master and servant

His films obsessively explore power dynamics, dependency, and the psychological entanglement between master and servant through intensely personal, melodramatic narratives.

He examined hierarchies of power and class struggle through transgressive cinema, explicitly dramatizing master-servant relationships in works like 'Salò' and 'Teorema'.

His surrealist masterpieces systematically deconstruct power structures and authority, with servant characters often subverting or inverting their subjugation through absurdist rebellion.
