DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stanley Kubrick USA

His masterpiece 'Dr. Strangelove' remains the definitive dark comedy about nuclear war and military absurdity, using satire to critique Cold War paranoia and institutional madness.

 Terry Gilliam USA/UK

His surreal and subversive approach to filmmaking frequently critiques authoritarianism and militarism through grotesque visual metaphors and dark humor, as seen in 'Brazil' and other works.
