He explores aristocratic privilege, class hierarchies, and the moral contradictions of noble characters caught between duty and humanity across multiple films.

Sofia Coppola → United States

Her films examine the isolation, ennui, and fragility of privilege within aristocratic and wealthy environments with poetic visual restraint.
