DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Theo Angelopoulos →

Epic long takes tracing Greece's turbulent history through intimate human journeys across landscape.

Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union

His films explore spiritual displacement and existential alienation, particularly in works like 'Mirror' and 'Stalker,' reflecting his own internal exile from Soviet ideology.

Abbas Kiarostami → Iran

His neorealist cinema profoundly examines displacement, loss, and belonging, with films like 'Where Is the Friend's Home?' and 'A Taste of Cherry' capturing the disorientation of modern life.
