DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sidney Lumet United States

His films like 'Network' and 'Fail Safe' systematically deconstruct institutional corruption and media manipulation as inherent to power structures.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

He exposed how cinema and media are tools of psychological control and ideological conditioning in works like 'The Third Generation' and 'Despair'.

 Jean-Luc Godard Switzerland/France

His radical filmmaking constantly interrogates cinema's relationship to truth, representation, and the commodification of images throughout his career.
