DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Olivier Assayas United Kingdom

His Shakespeare adaptations, particularly Hamlet and Richard III, present the most psychologically complex explorations of royal murder and succession through cinema.

 Chuck Russell United Kingdom

His visually audacious historical dramas like The Devils and The Lair of the White Worm obsessively examine power, corruption, and violent upheaval within royal and institutional hierarchies.
