DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Mike Nichols USA

His film 'The Graduate' (1967) is the definitive exploration of post-college malaise and the anxieties facing young adults entering the real world.

 Richard Linklater USA

His 'Before' trilogy and 'Boyhood' capture the intellectual and romantic lives of college-age characters with philosophical depth and naturalistic dialogue.

 Sofia Coppola USA

'The Virgin Suicides' and 'Lost in Translation' explore the disillusionment and emotional complexity of youth and young adulthood with visual poetry and introspection.
