DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His meditative cinema transforms brutalist and futuristic architecture into philosophical landscapes exploring humanity's relationship with utopian constructed spaces, particularly in 'Stalker' and 'Mirror'.

 Jacques Tati France

He satirizes modernist architectural utopias and consumer society through meticulously designed spatial comedy, creating entire worlds that critique utopian urban planning in films like 'Playtime'.
