DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Wim Wenders Germany

His films like 'Paris, Texas' and 'Wings of Desire' explore existential journeys across European landscapes and the search for meaning through travel and displacement.

 Paolo Sorrentino Italy

His works, particularly 'The Great Beauty' and 'Youth', capture the aesthetic and philosophical dimensions of European cities and the passage through them as spiritual quests.

 Richard Linklater United States

His 'Before' trilogy set across Europe and 'A Scanner Darkly' demonstrate how road journeys and movement through spaces reveal human connection and self-discovery.
