DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni → Italy

His films like 'L'Avventura' and 'La Notte' deliberately slow narrative pace to explore existential ennui and the hollowness of modern life.

Lars von Trier → Denmark

Works such as 'Melancholia' and 'Antichrist' use visual stasis and repetition to embody emotional numbness and psychological despair.

Joaquim Dos Santos → United States

Films like 'Elephant' and 'Gerry' embrace long takes and minimal plot to capture alienation and the mundane rhythms of disconnected lives.
