DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Alejandro Amenábar Chile

Explores metaphysical uncertainty through meticulously crafted narratives interrogating perception and truth.

 Ingmar Bergman Sweden

His films like 'The Seventh Seal' and 'Persona' are foundational explorations of existential despair, meaninglessness, and the search for spiritual certainty in an indifferent universe.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

He masterfully captures existential alienation and the void at the heart of modern life through sparse narratives and lengthy shots that emphasize human disconnection and purposelessness.
