DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films like Stalker and Mirror explore spiritual isolation and the separation between human consciousness and the material world through meditative, poetic imagery.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His stylistically rich films like In the Mood for Love and 2046 capture the aching isolation of urban dwellers and the unbridgeable distance between lovers separated by fate and circumstance.
