DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His films like 'After Life' and 'Still Walking' intimately explore grief, memory, and the lasting impact of a father's absence on families.

 François Truffaut France

His semi-autobiographical works, particularly 'The 400 Blows,' grapple with the complex relationship between fathers and sons, shaped by parental absence and loss.
