DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Federico Fellini Italy

His films like 'La Dolce Vita' and '8½' capture the disorientation and spiritual emptiness beneath Italy's post-war economic boom.

 Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

Works such as 'Shoplifters' and 'After the Storm' expose the human costs and social fractures hidden within Japan's economic miracle.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His socially conscious films like 'Kes' and 'I, Daniel Blake' critique the mythology of economic progress by showing those left behind.
