DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films explore spiritual displacement and the obsolescence of human connection in modern technological society through meditative, lengthy sequences that refuse narrative convenience.

 Béla Tarr Hungary

His bleak, monochromatic films depict the displacement of individuals in decaying industrial landscapes and the obsolescence of hope, meaning, and social structures.
