DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His documentarian approach in films like 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Sorry We Missed You' reveals how state systems fail citizens during economic and social crises.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

His dystopian works like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things' examine authoritarian control and how institutions respond to existential crises through absurdist logic.
