DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti Italy

His films like 'The Leopard' and 'Rocco and His Brothers' provide unflinching explorations of aristocratic decay and the Italian upper class's struggle with modernity.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His works such as 'L'Avventura' and 'L'Eclisse' dissect the alienation, moral emptiness, and existential crises of wealthy Italian bourgeoisie.

 Federico Fellini Italy

His satirical masterpiece 'La Dolce Vita' captures the hedonistic world of Rome's upper-class elite and their spiritual bankruptcy.
