DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Akira Kurosawa → Japan

*Rashomon* becomes the definitive exploration of narrative perspective by presenting the same event through four completely contradictory viewpoints.

Michael Haneke → Austria

Systematically deconstructs cinematic perspective and viewer complicity through formal techniques that expose the artificiality of narrative point-of-view.
