DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union/Russia

His films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror' meditate on spiritual longing, memory, and the irretrievable nature of time and lost connections.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His visually poetic works such as 'In the Mood for Love' and '2046' capture the ache of missed encounters and the impossibility of rekindling lost romance.

 Yasujirō Ozu Japan

His films like 'Tokyo Story' and 'Late Spring' gently explore the melancholy of familial separation, aging, and the inevitable distances that grow between loved ones.
