DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His work explores German identity and guilt while engaging critically with French culture and the broader European context of post-war reconciliation.

 Agnès Varda France

Though broader in scope, her humanistic cinema repeatedly examines cross-cultural European encounters and the complexities of Franco-German understanding.
