DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luis Buñuel Spain

His surrealist films systematically deconstruct social conventions and institutional repression through dreamlike narratives that expose the absurdity of bourgeois morality.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His melodramas and character studies dissect how social hierarchies, class systems, and emotional repression destroy individuals caught within oppressive power structures.
