DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Nicolas Roeg United Kingdom

His films like 'Don't Look Now' and 'Bad Timing' masterfully blend psychological noir atmosphere with isolated, claustrophobic island-like settings that trap characters in moral ambiguity.

 Luchino Visconti Italy

Works such as 'Death in Venice' and 'The Innocent' explore decadence and moral corruption in isolated Mediterranean locations with a distinctly noir sensibility.
