DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti Italy

His films like 'The Leopard' and 'Death in Venice' are seminal explorations of aristocratic decay and the collapse of old social orders in Italy.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His works chronicle spiritual emptiness and moral dissolution in modern Italian society through formally innovative and psychologically penetrating narratives.

 Federico Fellini Italy

His dreamlike films depict the disillusionment of Italian society and the corruption lurking beneath the surface of glamorous post-war Rome and urban life.
