His films like 'Teorema' and 'Salò' interrogate institutional authority and the moral corruption of those in positions of power over vulnerable students and society.

His socially conscious cinema consistently examines how teachers and institutions either uplift or fail working-class students, particularly in 'Kes' and 'Sweet Sixteen'.
