DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His documentary-style realism often examines industrial infrastructure and working-class relationships to mechanical systems that define daily life and movement.

 Béla Tarr Hungary

His slow-cinema aesthetic frequently uses architectural and infrastructural elements like railways to explore human determinism and the inexorable pull of systems beyond individual control.
