DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Guillermo del Toro Mexico

His films obsessively explore monsters as metaphors for humanity, beauty, and tragedy, particularly in Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His Oedipus Rex and Medea deconstruct ancient mythology through a darkly poetic lens that reveals the primal monster within human nature.
