DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His revolutionary montage technique was deliberately used to depict class struggle and resistance against oppressive systems in films like Battleship Potemkin.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His metaphysical approach to cinema subtly but profoundly critiques totalitarianism and explores spiritual resistance to ideological control.
